“There have been no signs of implementation. While it is not par for the course for DMK to claim credit for Central government schemes, does the DMK believe that it is enough to rename Centrally funded schemes?” he asked.
Mr. Annamalai added, “The DMK government has not set aside any funds to implement what they promised in their manifesto. Instead, their only intention seems to be to rename schemes after late DMK leader Karunanidhi.”
Apart from wasting public money for the sake of publicity, Mr. Annamalai said that no new schemes have been announced in public interest.
“It has left the people of Tamil Nadu stranded,” he said.
