‘Over Rs 5 lakh crore given by Modi government’: Minister Amit Shah

Chennai: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday rebutted Tamil Nadu Chief Minister D.K. Stalin’s claim that the Centre was withholding funds to the southern state, noting that PM Narendra Modi-led government had provided it over Rs 5 lakh crore.

Tamil Nadu was allocated Rs 5,08,337 crore between 2014 and 2024, significantly more than what was allocated during the UPA regime, he said.

He also said that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will form the government in Tamil Nadu after the 2026 Legislative Assembly elections.

In his remarks after inaugurating the BJP office in Coimbatore and the e-inauguration of two other district offices in Tiruvannamalai and Ramanathapuram, the senior BJP leader urged party cadres to prepare for a BJP-led NDA government in the state. He emphasised that the new government would eliminate nepotism and corruption while ushering in an era of development. (IANS)
