Chennai minister invites Sitharaman for funding debate
In Chennai, the state HR and CE minister P K Sekarbabu has invited Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman to debate with state finance minister Thangam Thennarasu. This invitation comes after Sitharaman said that the arguments made by DMK MPs about funding for Tamil Nadu were not valid. Sekarbabu accused Sitharaman of spreading false information regarding the allocation of central funds to the state. He claimed that Thennarasu had already provided detailed explanations about the unfair distribution of funds to Tamil Nadu. Moreover, Sekarbabu criticized the central government for not providing necessary funds, even for school children. He emphasized that these children are essential for the future of India.
