Centre has diverted funds due to Tamil Nadu to other states: TNCC chief
COIMBATORE: Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president K Selvaperunthagai on Saturday accused the BJP-led central govt of collecting taxes from Tamil Nadu without releasing the corresponding funds to the state. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He condemned the Centre's move to reduce Lok Sabha seats in south India under the guise of constituency delimitation. Speaking to reporters at the Coimbatore International Airport on Saturday, Selvaperunthagai alleged that funds due to Tamil Nadu were being withheld and diverted to other states. 'Why the BJP govt, which exploits the blood and sweat of the people of Tamil Nadu, has not released funds for school education or disaster relief,' he asked. He accused the Centre of showing a stepmotherly attitude towards the state. The TNCC chief said the proposed delimitation would adversely affect southern states and it could render southern votes and parliamentary representation insignificant if carried out as the BJP desired. He warned that northern MPs would dominate decision-making, leaving little or no voice for the south. Commenting on Union home minister Amit Shah's visit to Madurai, he alleged that it was an attempt to create confusion and gain a foothold in Tamil Nadu. However, he asserted that such efforts would fail, as the people clearly understood the BJP's intentions. He reiterated that there was no place for the BJP or the RSS in the state.

Last Updated: Amit Shah will also offer prayers at the renowned Meenakshi Temple in Madurai before commencing his political engagements. Union Home Minister Amit Shah will visit Madurai, Tamil Nadu, on June 8. During his visit, he will chair a meeting of the Tamil Nadu BJP's state core committee. He is also scheduled to interact with the party's state, district, and mandal-level office bearers in Madurai later that day. The Home Minister announced his visit on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, stating, 'Leaving for Tamil Nadu. Tomorrow, will chair a meeting of the state core committee of the Tamil Nadu BJP, in Madurai. In the evening, will interact with state, district, and mandal-level office bearers of the BJP in Madurai. Looking forward to attending the programmes." Shah's visit underscores the party's ongoing efforts to strengthen its organisational structure in Tamil Nadu. The meetings are expected to focus on evaluating the party's performance and developing strategies for upcoming electoral challenges in the state. According to party sources cited by PTI, Shah will also offer prayers at the renowned Meenakshi Temple in Madurai before commencing his political engagements. Leaving for Tamil Nadu. Tomorrow, will chair a meeting of the state core committee of the Tamil Nadu BJP, in Madurai. In the evening, will interact with state, district, and mandal-level office bearers of the BJP in forward to attending the programs.… — Amit Shah (@AmitShah) June 7, 2025 The BJP has allied with the principal opposition party, AIADMK, to challenge the ruling DMK-led alliance in the upcoming state elections, which are less than a year away. The AIADMK is poised to lead the alliance, which is expected to include several smaller parties. This comes as the DMK intensifies its campaign, portraying the BJP as a party acting against the state's interests, particularly accusing it of attempting to impose Hindi. The DMK has voiced concerns about the potential for southern states like Tamil Nadu to lose political influence due to a possible delimitation exercise. This exercise could adjust the number of parliamentary seats based on population. With southern states having successfully controlled population growth, there are fears this could result in fewer seats compared to northern states, where population growth has been more substantial. Meanwhile, the BJP has accused the DMK of raising these issues to deflect attention from what it alleges is widespread corruption and ineffective governance under Chief Minister MK Stalin. Shah has previously assured that the interests of southern states will be protected. First Published: June 07, 2025, 20:50 IST
