Stalin dares Modi to spell out projects he brought to TN

Pollachi: Chief Minister M K Stalin on Wednesday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to list out the special projects that the union government has given to Tamil Nadu and were scuttled by the state government. Stalin's comments came as a response to Modi's charge during his visit to Tamil Nadu last month that the state government stalled several central government schemes. Modi should also specify the central projects that were stalled by the DMK government in Tamil Nadu, Stalin said.

In his address during a government event, Stalin alleged that while the prime minister has advertised in newspapers and television channels about 'Modi's Guarantee', he has actually done nothing for the people. He also questioned what happened to Modi's 'old guarantees' of depositing Rs 15 lakh in every citizen's bank account and creating two crore jobs a year. The government function marked the distribution of welfare assistance to beneficiaries, laying of the foundation stone for new projects and inauguration of new schemes. The prime minister is set to visit Tamil Nadu once again in the coming days.
