‘Do unpaid bills become savings?’: DMK questions Vijay government’s claim of lower borrowing
Former Tamil Nadu finance minister Thangam Thennarasu criticized Chief Minister Joseph Vijay's government for claiming reduced borrowing indicates better financial management. He argued that the decline, down 21% from last year, may reflect delayed infrastructure projects and unpaid contractor bills. The DMK leader challenged the government to reveal actual spending on capital works and unpaid amounts from previous projects.
