Katchatheevu row: Stalin questions BJP's 'sudden love' for fishermen, terms issue 'diversionary'

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, on April 1, said the BJP, which had expressed sudden concern for the Tamil fishermen “after sleeping for ten years”, should answer three questions posed by the people of Tamil Nadu.

In a post on his X handle, Mr Stalin said the BJP government should answer why it was paying just 29 paise to Tamil Nadu for every one rupee it collects from the state as GST.

He also wanted the BJP to answer why it had not released a single rupee to the state which experienced two major natural disasters (floods and cyclone in December last) and “why it had not implemented a single special scheme for the State.”

“Mr Prime Minister answer the questions without prevaricating,” he said.
