பலவீனமான தலைமையின் கீழ் செயல்படும் குதிரைபேர அதிமுக அரசால், முதலீட்டாளர்களை ஈர்ப்பதில் தமிழகம் மிகவும் பின்தங்கி, தொழில்துறையில் வரலாறு காணாத...

DMK working president M.K. Stalin on April 18, 2018, criticized the ruling AIADMK administration for plunging Tamil Nadu's industrial sector into an unprecedented slump. Citing recent economic indicators and investment trends, Stalin stated that the state had fallen drastically behind other manufacturing hubs in attracting new domestic and foreign capital. He characterized the government's tenure under Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami as a dark chapter in Tamil Nadu's modern industrial development.

Stalin pointed out that administrative lethargy, pervasive bureaucratic corruption, and policy uncertainty under an unstable regime had eroded corporate investor confidence. Major manufacturing projects and technology companies were redirecting planned investments toward neighboring states, resulting in severe employment losses for local youth. He argued that the state's premier status as an automotive and engineering destination had been severely damaged.

The DMK leader asserted that an administration absorbed in internal power struggles was incapable of executing coherent industrial planning. He demanded transparent policy measures and streamlined regulatory approvals to rescue the state from further economic stagnation, warning that continued incompetence would cause lasting economic distress and jeopardize future employment opportunities.
