‘T.N.’s cumulative revenue deficit hit ₹1,31,000 cr. in 5 years’ DMK MLA and IT wing secretary P.T.R. Palanivel Thiaga Rajan on Monday said the Tamil Nadu government’s
Vetrinadai Podum Tamizhagam (Tamil Nadu marches on successfully) campaign was a farce since the State’s cumulative revenue deficit had touched a whopping ₹1,31,000 crore in five years.
“This is unheard of in any State or country in the world. That is why we say leadership matters. I do not understand the slogan of the government that says Tamil Nadu is on the path of progress,” he said in a pre-Budget analysis. The government is set to present its interim Budget on Tuesday.

CHENNAI: As the State nears its Assembly elections, political parties are fighting it out both on the streets through fiery, persuasive speeches and on the internet through advertisements and short films signalling a deft adaptation to the changing times. Using the digital resources that are at their disposal, parties try to convince voters of how good they are or how bad others are.
Unleashing creativity, DMK’s IT team, spearheaded by I-PAC, which is handling the party’s election campaign, was among the first to venture into animated short-films highlighting the issues faced by the people. One of such videos released under the banner ‘#WeRejectBanner’ months ago on the social media handles of DMK depicted the suicide of Anitha, a NEET candidate from the State and how many other students died by suicide due to the pressure created by national exam.
