There was a debate on price hike in Parliament. Speaking at that time, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had alleged that “Even when the central government reduced the tax on petrol and diesel, the Tamil Nadu government did not reduce it.”
In this situation, Tamil Nadu BJP leader Annamalai, speaking to the media, said, “Those who do not know how to manage the government properly will say that the platform is not correct, the platform is crooked. That is the statement of the Tamil Nadu Finance Minister. The GST amount due to Tamil Nadu has been paid in full. How can the central government be blamed for the DMK government not fulfilling its election promises? Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman exposed the lies of the state government.
The Finance Minister has firmly stated in his statement that the structure of the GST Council is not right. How can this be accepted? There is still no answer as to why the MPs walked out while the Union Finance Minister was speaking… Even though the Finance Minister was ready to answer all the questions, you were not ready to hear the answer. You have humiliated the people of Tamil Nadu in Parliament. “All our MPs should apologize to the people of Tamilnadu,” he said.
He continued to speak, “Senthil Balaji has filed three loss cases against me. People who have dignity and respect can give it a respect if they file a case for damages. What is the respect for those who do not have dignity if they file a case for loss of dignity? Let me take action before taking action against BJP workers who complain about electricity bill.
Earlier speaking in Karur, Stalin said, “The biggest fraud in the world is Senthil Balaji. Jayalalithaa is ruling with him” he said. If Stalin, who is now the Chief Minister, says, “It was wrong for me to speak about Minister Senthil Balaji, I apologize for that,” I will not speak a single word about this minister. And if the Chief Minister says in a press conference that Power Minister Senthil Balaji is good, the best of the world, the word Power Minister will not come from my mouth as long as I am in politics,” he said.
