New Delhi: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, who is boycotting the NITI Ayog meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, released a video slamming the Budget 2024 and accusing the Centre of disregarding the people of the state. "The budget presented by the Union Finance Minister seems like a vengeful act against the states and people who boycotted the BJP. She has prepared a budget to take revenge against those who voted for the INDIA bloc. The union BJP govt is disregarding Tamil Nadu continuously," he said. "We have been pushed to come to the people following the continuous step motherly treatment from the Centre," he added. The Tamil Nadu CM accused the Centre of treating states badly which did not vote in favour of the BJP. "A good government is for both the people who voted for them and the ones who didn’t vote for them," he said.

He accused the Modi government of indulging in politics of vote which he claimed his predecessors never did. "All governments until Modi-led governments came to power followed this rule only. It is only Modi-led BJP government that is never thinking about the people and rather is interested in politics than good governance," he added. No Mention Of Tamil Nadu In BudgetStalin was severely critical of the Budget 2024 as he raised concerns over the neglect of the souther state by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. "No mention of Tamil Nadu anywhere in the budget. No mention of any Thirukkural. Now Thiruvallur has vanished for the BJP who was very important until elections for them. But I’m glad his name of writing has not been in used in this kind of a budget," he said. He warned the BJP that if the party resort to such tactics in the future it would never earn the trust of people of Tamil Nadu. "BJP doesn’t want to do anything for the people of Tamil Nadu but will expect them to vote for them. If this is going to continue, BJP’s defeat will also keep continuing," he said. He further accused the BJP of using the Budget 2024 to take revenge against the state that voted for the INDIA Bloc in the Lok Sabha elections. "Instead of creating a budget for the people of India, this budget has been created against the people who voted for INDIA alliance," Stalin said.தலைநகரில் @NITIAayog கூட்டத்தில் பங்கெடுத்திருக்க வேண்டிய நாளில், ஒன்றிய பா.ஜ.க. அரசின் வஞ்சனையால், நீதி கேட்டு மக்கள் மன்றத்தில்…#UnfairBudget4TN pic.twitter.com/L2rqtORNvD
