Chennai: “On the basis of the bomb culture in Tamil Nadu, the infiltration of drug gangs, the daily murders and robberies, it must be understood that the Governor has come to the conclusion that Tamil Nadu is not a park of peace. No other proof is needed that law and order is deteriorating in Tamil Nadu,” said former Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam. .
In this regard, he issued a statement: “The Governor’s speech means that there should be a dream of what Tamil Nadu should be like in the future; There must be plans to make that dream a reality; There must be a vision. However, the Governor’s speech which was read in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly today is a picture of the lack of governance of the DMK regime.
In the Governor’s speech, it was mentioned that the Chief Minister has led the government with tireless work and care in the development journey of Tamil Nadu for the last one and a half years. The reality is that the DMK government is leading the people of Tamil Nadu towards decline by increasing property tax, increasing electricity bills and increasing milk prices.
When the people of Tamilnadu were expecting at least 3,000 rupees to be given on the occasion of Pongal, it is ironic that the governor’s speech mentions giving 1,000 rupees as a big achievement.
Late Chief Minister Jayalalithaa made the administration of Tamil Nadu world famous by effectively handling the tsunami and massive floods. It is ironic that the impact of the storm and the amount of rain was so minimal that it was made to appear in the governor’s speech as an achievement.
In the governor’s speech, it was mentioned that the purchase price of milk has been increased by three rupees per litre. A mere three rupees hike is a disappointing move as milk producers have been demanding a hike in the procurement price of milk by Rs 10 per litre. Apart from this, the DMK government has raised the price of a packet of orange milk by 12 rupees per liter and increased the price of all dairy products like curd, ghee, margarine, ice cream and sweets many times over and has put the people of Tamilnadu in dire straits.
It was mentioned in the governor’s speech that this government has started a pilot program called “Medicine in search of people”. It is ironic that in the governor’s speech, there is no medical treatment if you seek hospital.
Referring to the Corona infection, the Governor’s speech mentioned that the government has taken all the necessary preventive measures to face the challenges that may be faced by keeping adequate medical facilities in readiness in the state. Medical infrastructure includes adequate equipment, medicines, pills, doctors, nurses.
It is not acceptable to say that the government is taking all the necessary preventive measures to overcome the challenges that may be faced when the 2,500 nurses appointed during the Corona epidemic have been sent home, the post and pay hike order issued by the previous DMK government is not being implemented, and the government is taking retaliatory action against them.
If the DMK comes to power, the promise of ‘Cancellation of NEET’ has been made from stage to stage. It is regrettable that after 20 months of assumption of power, it is stated in the governor’s speech that it has been sent for the approval of the President and it is mentioned that this government is trying to give the approval quickly.
Since the governor’s speech did not mention anything about what kind of pressure was exerted to get the President’s approval, Chief Minister M.K. doubted whether this promise would be fulfilled. It only shows what was in Stalin’s mind. It has now come to light that the DMK is not interested in fulfilling this promise and that this is one of the many false promises made to come to power.
The Governor’s speech proudly mentions the ‘Home Search Education Programme’. It is surprising to say ‘home search education’ when the teaching posts are vacant to the extent that there are no teachers to teach by looking for a school. Everyone is of the opinion that the plan is nominal but nothing more.
The governor’s speech mentions about the Muvalur Ramamirtham Ammaiyar scheme which was started after the cancellation of the Thali gold scheme, the Olympiad competition and the current breakfast scheme. In general, the old story is being told, and there is no plan in this governor’s speech to tell something new.
In this governor’s speech, it has been informed that an investment of 2 lakh 23 thousand 210 crore rupees and employment for 3 lakh 44 thousand 150 people have been assured. At the same time, the lack of notification regarding the filling up of nearly 5 lakh vacant government posts has created a lot of disappointment among the youth.
The governor’s address read on 21-06-2021 stated that Athikadavu-Avinasith is committed to execution. In the Water Resources Department Policy Brief for the year 2022-203, it has been mentioned that 94 percent of the works have been completed. It is mentioned in the Governor’s speech that it is nearing completion. At the same time, no time frame has been mentioned. This is an example of the administrative incompetence of the government.
Free travel for all women is mentioned in this governor’s speech. The reality is that women report having to wait for hours for the free buses painted bright red on the front and back. After the minister’s speech, women hate the free travel.
The governor’s speech did not say anything about the old pension scheme, which the government employees and teachers are eagerly waiting for, about the provision of additional pension to pensioners who are over 70 years of age, or about the immediate increase in allowances without delay. On the contrary, it has been mentioned that the high price was deferred for a period of six months. If this situation continues, it will not be surprising if the governor’s speech includes the monthly salary, pay hike and promotion expenses for civil servants.
In this governor’s speech, it is mentioned that Tamil Nadu is a park of peace. But the governor himself left it unread. Based on the bomb culture, infiltration of drug gangs, daily murders and robberies in Tamil Nadu, it must be understood that the Governor has come to the conclusion that Tamil Nadu is not a park of peace. Law and order in Tamil Nadu is deteriorating and needs no more proof than this.
To sum it up, this governor’s speech is a sloppy speech that does not care about the public, questions the future of the youth, leads to unemployment, and does not deliver on promises,” it said.
