Tamil Nadu’s Budget 2025 has ignited a major political storm! Finance Minister Thangam Thenarasu presented the last full budget before next year’s elections, with key allocations including - ₹1,000/month cash aid for women, ₹3,600 Cr for free bus travel for women, ₹3,500 Cr for 1 lakh houses for the poor and a new 2,000-acre city near Chennai. But the biggest controversy? The DMK’s decision to drop the Rupee symbol from the budget logo and its stand on Tamil Nadu’s two-language policy. The state government also hit out at the Centre, declaring it would fund the ₹2,150 Cr Samagra Shiksha scheme if Modi’s government blocks funds. AIADMK’s Edappadi Palaniswami and BJP’s K Annamalai walked out in protest, slamming the DMK over alleged corruption in TASMAC liquor deals. The Enforcement Directorate has accused the DMK government of a ₹1,000 Cr scam. TVK’s Vijay also called the budget vote-driven. Watch the full breakdown of Tamil Nadu’s budget showdown!
