TN Finance Minister says DMK did not assure immediate cut in fuel prices
Tamil Nadu Finance Minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan on Sunday said DMK did not make an electoral promise to effect an immediate cut in fuel prices and had an argument with journalists over the issue.
Work on releasing a white paper on the state’s finances was on and it would be out in about two weeks after the Governor’s Address to the Assembly, he said.
Governor Banwarilal Purohit is set to address the Assembly on Monday, his first to the 16th TN Assembly and after the DMK won polls and formed the government last month.
The DMK government has been fulfilling its poll promises and the Rs 4,000 COVID-19 financial assistance to people is among them, he said addressing reporters in Chennai.
