DMK MP Trichy Siva criticized the central government for delaying rightful allocations to Tamil Nadu during a press meet at Coimbatore airport. He urged the Centre to treat all states equally and avoid biased treatment.
Coimbatore: DMK MP Trichy Siva addressed reporters at Coimbatore airport, criticizing the central government's approach towards Tamil Nadu and commenting on various national issues.
Siva stated, "They are delaying even what should be rightfully given to Tamil Nadu. The Chief Minister has written a letter, and people like us are making individual requests. They shouldn't show favoritism to some states while neglecting others. When compared to northern states, Tamil Nadu has progressed in many ways. The Union government should avoid viewing this state differently just because another party is ruling here."
Regarding the sexual harassment case at NIT Trichy, Siva said, "Such incidents occurring anywhere in the world are condemnable. Governments will find a solution to this problem. The government will take appropriate action."
The MP expressed concern over the Union government's differential treatment of issues in various states. "I'm not criticizing the Union government's concern in the Kolkata issue. But the BJP didn't care about the violence and sexual incidents in Manipur. Even the Home Minister didn't submit a report on it. The people of the country should weigh all these actions of this government," he remarked.
Siva also commented on the recent Palani Murugan conference, saying, "Every party has its own opinion and policy. Those running the government have certain duties. That's how we should view the Palani Murugan conference."
Addressing the relationship between Tamil Nadu and the Union government, Siva clarified, "Tamil Nadu is not in conflict with the Union government. We are doing our duty and expecting our rights. We expect the Union government to act fairly."
The DMK MP concluded by emphasizing the need for equitable treatment of all states by the central government, urging an end to biased policies and delayed allocations.
