Tamil Nadu BJP President Annamalai has called on Chief Minister M.K. Stalin to stop “empty theatrics” and take constructive steps to create job opportunities for the youth of Tamil Nadu.
In a recent post on his social media platform, Annamalai criticized the ruling DMK government, stating that since coming to power, it has been deceiving the public with mere announcements. Highlighting recent developments, Annamalai pointed out that the Chief Minister had laid the foundation for a footwear manufacturing plant in Jayankondam, Ariyalur district, with an investment claim of ₹1,000 crore.
Annamalai recalled that in April 2023, the DMK government announced a memorandum of understanding with a Taiwanese footwear company to set up a facility in the Ulundurpet SIPCOT Industrial Park, Kallakurichi district, with an investment of ₹2,302 crore. This project was projected to create 20,000 jobs. However, according to information obtained under the Right to Information (RTI) Act, not even a single brick has been laid for the construction, despite 20 months having passed.
The BJP leader also pointed out that it has been two years since the Chief Minister’s visit to Dubai, where he claimed to have secured an investment of ₹6,000 crore. However, as of now, Tamil Nadu has not received even ₹60 crore from that investment.
Annamalai concluded his statement by urging the Chief Minister to halt such “meaningless theatrics” and instead focus on meaningful actions that would provide employment opportunities for the youth in the state.
