Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin extended warm Ugadi New Year greetings to Telugu and Kannada-speaking citizens residing in Tamil Nadu and neighboring states. Highlighting the deep linguistic and cultural ties binding Dravidian communities across southern India, Stalin wished that the festive occasion marks the beginning of shared prosperity and renewed regional unity against central discrimination.

Connecting cultural greetings with vital constitutional concerns, the Chief Minister voiced serious anxiety over the Union government's regressive fiscal policies toward southern states. Stalin pointed out that while southern states contribute disproportionately large tax revenues that drive national development, they receive negligible financial returns from central devolutions. Using the campaign tags SouthTaxMovement and BJPLootingOurTax, he emphasized that this persistent fiscal disparity deprives regional governments of necessary funds for welfare delivery and civic infrastructure.

Stalin called upon southern states to stand united in defending their constitutional autonomy and securing fair fiscal federalism from New Delhi. He expressed optimism that the New Year would witness the recovery of southern rights and the establishment of a just revenue-sharing framework that truly respects progressive state contributions across India.
