Leader of Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin has criticised the Tamil Nadu government's first Agriculture Budget under the TVK administration, calling it 'absolute nothing.' He accused Chief Minister C.
Joseph Vijay of failing to address farmers' issues, including unfulfilled promises of crop loan waivers and the lack of an all-party meeting on the Cauvery water-sharing dispute.

Impact & Risks

The dissatisfaction expressed by the opposition highlights the growing frustration among farmers in Tamil Nadu, particularly over unfulfilled promises and unresolved water disputes. The lack of concrete measures in the budget could lead to further protests and political tension. The ongoing Cauvery water-sharing dispute with Karnataka remains a critical issue, with potential implications for water availability and agricultural productivity in Tamil Nadu.
