The Civil Supplies Department has stated that the government has saved Rs. 187 crore by procuring the toor dal distributed to people at ration shops in Tamil Nadu at a lower price than in previous periods.
Regarding this, Opposition Leader Udhayanidhi Stalin, on his X page, said, ``The toor dal that was procured at Rs. 109 per kg during the party’s rule has been bought by this clown government for Rs. 77.89, and as a result, the procurement price in this administration has come down by up to Rs. 31, saving the government Rs. 750 crore. The ruling party’s toolkits are spreading a half-baked news item that has been released by concealing the facts.

The reason for such a price reduction is not this Circus Sarkar — the reality is that it was the Kazhagam government. The Kazhagam government gradually reduced the procurement price of toor dal from Rs. 112.69 in November 2024 to Rs. 77.99 in February this year.
It is unacceptable to hide these facts and spread slander against the Kazhagam by claiming that toor dal was procured at a lower price only under this administration.
Not only that, the palm oil distributed in ration shops was purchased under the previous administration at Rs. 124.90 per liter in September last year, Rs. 121.95 in December, and Rs. 136.95 in March this year. But under this Circus administration, it was purchased at a higher price of Rs. 154.99 per liter in June last year and now at Rs. 148.
If palm oil was purchased at a low price during the previous regime, but in the last 3 months it has been bought under this regime by paying Rs. 11 more per liter, then doesn’t that mean corruption of over about Rs. 600 crore has taken place?
If Abusive Warriors are the ones standing far from the truth, then why are some media outlets in this regime also stuck in the Fanboy type Sofa Ecosystem? Instead of spreading slander, these rulers should come forward to relieve the suffering of people who are struggling every day because of rising prices," he noted.
