DMK president M.K. Stalin condemned the Union Bharatiya Janata Party government for withholding wage disbursements to impoverished rural beneficiaries under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act across Tamil Nadu. Stalin pointed out that poor laborers in multiple districts had not received their statutory wages for over two months, with delays stretching up to four months in several interior areas. He stated that this systematic failure to credit earned wages reveals callous disregard for grassroots rural livelihoods.

Stalin emphasized that the hundred-day employment guarantee scheme represents a vital lifeline for landless laborers, marginalized women, and elderly rural citizens during severe agrarian slowdowns. Delaying hard-earned wage payments strikes a devastating blow to families already struggling with price rises and seasonal unemployment. The failure of central authorities to release requisite financial allotments exposes deep administrative lethargy and complete indifference toward social security safety nets.

Stalin demanded that the central government immediately rectify its payment bottlenecks and release all pending funds to rural bank accounts without bureaucratic excuses. He affirmed that the DMK will continue to mobilize public and parliamentary pressure until every rural worker is paid their rightful statutory wages.
