Not extending GST compensation beyond June shows the Union government’s big brother attitude, contends CM
Pointing out that Tamil Nadu’s expectations for sanctioning of funds for schemes and relief for meeting losses incurred during the recent natural disasters, including floods, remained unaddressed in the Union Budget 2022-23, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Tuesday said Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s budget was “hugely disappointing” to Tamil Nadu and its people.
Opposing the ‘One Nation, One Registration’ proposal, Mr. Stalin said it revealed how the Union government was “keen on snatching the rights of the States” in whichever announcement it makes. “It would be apt to call this Union budget as a budget which forgot the welfare of the people,” Mr. Stalin said in a three-page statement.

Although students from Tamil Nadu remain the leading recipients of educational loans across India, there has been a significant decline in the number of active loans they hold. The number of active education loan accounts decreased from 27.4 lakh accounts to about 20.1 lakh in the period. The fall can be mostly attributed to the fall in Tamil Nadu’s numbers.
