30% of TN Budget goes to Stalin: Vijay

Upping the ante against the DMK Government, TVK chief Vijay on Saturday alleged that nearly 30 per cent of Tamil Nadu’s Rs 4.39 lakh crore Budget goes to Chief Minister MK Stalin and his Cabinet colleagues, dubbing it as the “Stalin sir tax.”

Addressing the party women at an event near Chennai to mark International Women’s Day, he alleged that 20 per cent of the state budget goes to Stalin sir and 10 per cent goes to his council of ministers.

“Our State’s total Budget is Rs 4.39 lakh crore. Out of that 30 per cent goes to Stalin Sir as tax -- 20 per cent to the CM and 10 per cent to his council of ministers.” Referring to the government’s financial assistance scheme for women, Vijay said the availability of funds shows that the state does have the resources to implement welfare programmes and development initiatives.”The Government says there is no money. But it is depositing Rs 5,000 in people’s bank accounts early in the morning. You deposit Rs 2,000, Rs 3,000 and Rs 4,000 every month.
