GST, பணமதிப்பிழப்பு என சிறு, குறு தொழில்களை மொத்தமாக அழித்த பாஜக அரசுக்கு பாதம் தாங்கும் அடிமை அதிமுக ஆட்சி இது! ‘எவர் எக்கேடு கெட்டால் என்ன?...

DMK president M.K. Stalin sharply criticized the BJP-led Union government and the subservient AIADMK administration on March 20, 2021, for destroying micro, small, and medium enterprises across Tamil Nadu. Stalin asserted that ill-conceived economic decisions, particularly the 2016 demonetization and the complex Goods and Services Tax structure, crippled industrial production and triggered widespread bankruptcies in vital manufacturing hubs. He accused the state government of total indifference toward enterprise survival, alleging that ruling politicians cared solely about corrupt commissions rather than protecting regional manufacturing capabilities.

Stalin pledged that an incoming DMK government would implement targeted recovery initiatives to revive distressed manufacturing clusters in Coimbatore, Tiruppur, Madurai, and Chennai. His proposed measures included subsidized working-capital credit lines, simplified statutory clearances, and dedicated infrastructural upgrades for industrial estates. Stalin emphasized that the state would advocate forcefully for rationalized tax brackets and financial flexibility to protect local employment in industrial units from unilateral central tax burdens.

Stalin statement was welcomed by industrial associations and trade bodies struggling under sluggish demand and regulatory bottlenecks. His forthright defense of small manufacturers highlighted his practical economic vision, dedicated to restoring Tamil Nadu industrial competitiveness and safeguarding working-class employment.
