Palaniswami calls TVK government’s move to build new Assembly-Secretariat complex ‘unnecessary’
Former chief minister Palaniswami criticised the Tamil Nadu government’s plan to erect a new Assembly‑Secretariat complex, labeling it unnecessary. The Economic Policy Society (EPS) warned that the state is grappling with heavy debt and a cash crunch, and spending ₹1,200 crore on the project could divert resources from essential public services, worsening fiscal pressure in the upcoming budget cycle.
