Union Budget: Poll-bound TN, Kerala express disappointment

The ruling dispensations of Tamil Nadu and Kerala two key poll-bound southern states on Sunday expressed strong dissatisfaction over the budgetary announcements made by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman with Chief Minister M K Stalin wondering why his state TN was not given something even in the election year while his Kerala counterpart accused the Centre of neglecting the state The CMs of the two non-BJP ruled states lashed out at Sitharaman with Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan charging her with deliberately overlooking the fact that Kerala is also part of Indias map As Tamil Nadu gears for the assembly elections we expected at least this year that the state would be visible to the eyes of the Union BJP government and our voices will be heard by them However this year too the BJP government has delivered only disappointment Stalin the DMK President said in a statement in Chennai He charged that the demand from various states including Tamil Nadu to increase the states share of total tax revenue from 41 per cent to 50 per cent was ignored once again The announcement that devolution will remain at 41 per cent is disappointing he said Stalin said that despite the 16th Finance Commission attempts to recognise the contribution of states towards Indias economic growth it is distressing that Tamil Nadu being the second largest economy receives a lower percentage of financial devolution It appears that the tax devolution for Tamil Nadu will remain at a meager 4097 per cent for the next 5 years he said and added as per estimates it would lead to a financial loss of about Rs 5000 crore every year The biggest disappointment is the PM Internship scheme which was announced amid fanfare last year with an allocation of Rs 10831 crore The funding has been slashed to just Rs 526 crore indicating that the scheme has received poor response he claimed While noting that the government was eagerly expecting projects for the welfare of Tamil Nadu will be included in the budget there was no mention of new projects The lack of new projects has showcased that the Union Government continues to treat Tamil Nadu with a step-motherly attitude he said Referring to the custom of using Thirukkural verse while presenting the budget speech by the finance minister Stalin said it was absent this time Budget did not have any important projects for Tamil Nadu also In total it is a disappointment he said Reacting sharply to the budget presented in Parliament Kerala CM Vijayan said the long-standing demands of the state including an AIIMS seven high-speed railway corridors and a special package for Vizhinjam port were completely ignored He expressed disappointment over the Finance Commission allocation The decision to reject the demand for an increase in the Finance Commission share and to maintain the current status of 41 per percent is a move that weakens federal principles he said Describing the budget as fully reflecting a neoliberal economic approach the chief minister said it is designed to enrich corporations while pushing ordinary people further into poverty It is not only failing to give Kerala its rightful share from the divisible pool of central funds but the decision that revenue deficit grants need not continue is an attempt by the Centre to undermine the states financial foundation he said He noted that overall grants have been sharply cut from Rs 22 lakh crore in 2021 to Rs 14 lakh crore now On the rare earth mineral corridor announced in the budget he said the Centres move to seize Keralas mineral wealth is extremely dangerous This budget offers no measures to tackle such challenges or to protect the countrys export sector By failing to take steps to address inflation and unemployment the budget appears to be a deliberate attempt to slow Keralas development he said Vijayan added that from traditional industries to IT start ups the budget ignores all with no plans for the welfare or return of expatriates Strong protests must rise against these anti-people economic policies and the Centres continued neglect of Kerala he said The opposition Congress in Kerala expressed skepticism over the Centres rare earth mineral corridor announced in the Union Budget alleging that it could become an attempt to hand over the states resources to corporates Leader of Opposition VD Satheesan said the policy framework for the Rare Earth Mineral Corridor should be formulated only after holding consultations with the state government In Tamil Nadu NDA constituent and main opposition party AIADMK welcomed the budgetary proposals Chief Minister N Rangasamy heading the AINRC-BJP coalition ministry in the Union Territory said that the budget is most progressive and focusses on every sector of development Tamil Nadu Kerala and the Puducherry union territory are going to polls scheduled in April this year
