PMK General Secretary Premalatha Vijayakant has spoken to reporters about the TVK government’s budget for the year 2026-2027.
"There is no announcement in the budget regarding the complete waiver of farmers’ crop loans, which is Tamil Nadu’s most important issue. They have only waived a few loans.

It is disappointing that full loan waiver has not been announced. I had said that Tamil Nadu should become a surplus-water state. But no such announcement has come.
First, there are no announcements of any kind for linking Tamil Nadu’s rivers or for protecting the water bodies in Tamil Nadu. Employment is a very important matter.
We can hear people saying there is no work, no work. So, no announcement has been made about setting up factories in each district.
Tamil Nadu has debt of over 10 lakh rupees. No plans have been announced for reducing this debt burden. Today, we are paying back several lakh crores only as debt.

What is commendable about the budget is that some announcements, such as cleaning the Cooum River for urban development, improving roads, and introducing electric buses, were welcome.
But all of this was only in words today. When it comes to implementation, the DMDK will certainly welcome it," he said.
