DMK takes out protests against Union Budget in Salem, Namakkal and Erode

Led by DMK MLA K. Thalapathi, party cadre staged a protest here on Saturday condemning the Centre for not allocating any funds for Tamil Nadu in the recent Union Budget.

They alleged that it was a betrayal by the Union government, as it was keen on concentrating only on the States which they would preferably get support in terms of alliance.

“For projects like Chennai Metro Rail phase 2, no funds were allocated. How do they expect us to undertake the projects,” they added.
