· India · Hindustan Times, The Hindu
AIADMK general secretary and former Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami called the TVK government a 'rented coalition administration', accusing it of failing to attract industrial investments to Tamil Nadu. He claimed the previous AIADMK government secured projects through global expos, investor visits to the UK, US and Dubai, and the Yaadhum Oore scheme for non-resident Tamils. Separately, DMK leader and former Industries Minister T R B Rajaa alleged the TVK government had failed to bring new projects beyond those initiated by the former DMK administration. Rajaa claimed Andhra Pradesh attracted ₹5.35 lakh crore in investment MoUs in a single day, opportunities Tamil Nadu could have competed for.
