Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Thursday appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ensure that the Union government increased its contribution to the Centre-State schemes and more funds were allocated to the State \u201cto do justice to the contribution made by developed States like Tamil Nadu\u201d towards the country\u2019s development and economy. \u201cOnly then will the true spirit of co-operative federalism be upheld,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking at a grand event at Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai, where Mr. Modi unveiled the foundation stone for infrastructure projects and inaugurated completed schemes, Mr. Stalin flagged certain issues in schemes jointly implemented by the Union and State governments. \u201cThough the Union government provides more funds for such schemes in the beginning, we are witnessing a trend of the States\u2019 share being increased over time. Also, there are many schemes that are implemented with the contribution of the beneficiaries, along with the Union and State governments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

When beneficiaries are unable to pay their share, it is the State governments, which are in direct contact with the people, that pay their share as well, he pointed out, adding, \u201cThis adds to the burden on the State finances. Therefore, I demand that the contribution ratio mentioned at the beginning of such schemes continue till the end and when beneficiaries are not able to pay their share, the Union government must step in along with the State government.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Retrieve Katchatheevu\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Contending this was the \u201cright time to retrieve Katchatheevu\u201d (from Sri Lanka), Mr. Stalin said it could be a solution to the problems faced by the fisherfolk and would help to uphold their traditional rights to fish there.<\/p>\n

Pointing out that the GST compensation due to Tamil Nadu was \u20b914,006 crore as on May 15, the Chief Minister requested that this amount be released immediately. \u201cAt a time when the finances of many States have not recovered completely, I demand that the GST compensation period be extended for at least two more years from June 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n

Underlining that Tamil is both ancient and modern among the classical languages of the world, Mr. Stalin reiterated that Tamil be made an official language of the Union on a par with Hindi and recognised as the language of court in the Madras High Court.<\/p>\n

\u201cTamil Nadu has been continuously opposing NEET for admission to medical courses. We have passed a law to exempt the State from NEET and sent it to the Union government for assent through the Hon\u2019ble Governor. On behalf of the people of Tamil Nadu, I request the Hon\u2019ble Prime Minister to facilitate it at the earliest,\u201d Mr. Stalin reiterated.<\/p>\n

Tamil Nadu played a vital role in India\u2019s development, Mr. Stalin said. \u201cThe development of Tamil Nadu is not just about economy. Tamil Nadu\u2019s development is inclusive with social justice, women\u2019s empowerment and equality.\u201d In the \u201cDravidian model of governance\u201d, while taking welfare and development measures, Tamil Nadu has largely corrected the fiscal imbalance and re-structured the finances of the State, he said.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Mr. Stalin said that as the Chief Minister, on behalf of the people of Tamil Nadu, he thanked the Prime Minister for having come to inaugurate several projects for the development of the State. Quoting late DMK leader and former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, who he hailed as the \u2018Father of Modern Tamil Nadu\u2019, Mr. Stalin said, \u201c Uravukku Kai Koduppom; Urimaikku Kural Koduppom [We will extend the hand of friendship, at the same time we will raise our voice for our rights].\u201d<\/p>\n

The event started with the singing of Tamil Thai Vaazhthu and Union Minister of State L. Murugan delivered the welcome address. Governor R.N. Ravi participated.<\/p>\n
