DMK president and Leader of the Opposition M.K. Stalin termed Deputy Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam's tenth state budget a thoroughly inadequate and uninspiring fiscal statement that failed to address Tamil Nadu's pressing developmental challenges. Stalin remarked that the budget offered no meaningful relief to farmers, unorganized workers, unemployed youth, or small industrial entrepreneurs. Instead, consecutive budgets under the ruling regime had merely witnessed ballooning revenue deficits, widened fiscal imbalances, and unsustainable debt obligations.

Stalin criticized the budget for being completely devoid of long-term developmental vision, capital investment frameworks, or actionable job creation strategies. He pointed out that while traditional manufacturing hubs suffered deep stagnation and agricultural distress intensified across rural districts, the budget presented recycled announcements and cosmetic allocations. Stalin observed that when state revenue is consumed almost entirely by debt servicing and establishment costs, public welfare and capital creation grind to an abrupt halt.

Stalin stated that the people of Tamil Nadu had grown completely weary of budget presentations that deliver zero economic progress. He urged administrative policymakers to shift focus toward revitalizing industrial productivity, curbing corruption, and generating rural employment. Stalin concluded that true governance requires innovative economic leadership rather than repetitive budgetary rhetoric.
