Minister for Public Works, Highways and Sports Development Aadhav Arjuna said today (Aug. 3) that they have eliminated the corruption that was carried out under the name of party funds in the previous regime.
The Tamil Nadu Infrastructure Summit 2026 was held at a private star hotel in Guindy, Chennai, on behalf of the Confederation of Indian Industry.
At the event, Minister Aadhav Arjuna participated as the special guest and delivered the keynote address.
Speaking at the event, Aadhav Arjuna said:
The Chief Minister believes that the future of Tamil Nadu lies with the youth. Based on that, the budget will include many announcements for young people.
If you look at the budgets of the past five years, they would simply repeat the same budget that had already been announced.
If we want to move toward development, we need a purpose. If we are to have a purpose, we must have a transparent government. Our government has been functioning as a government that operates with transparency.
Infrastructure is very important for the functioning of a government. Transportation, technology, and commerce are all very important for a government. In all three of these sectors, the Tamil Nadu government is functioning with transparency.
We have eradicated the corruption that was collected in the name of party funds under the previous regime. The main problem with concessions is corruption. In the past 80 days, the Chief Minister has introduced a system by which all services can be accessed online.
Tamil Nadu is the first corruption-free state in India; all investors should come to invest in corruption-free Tamil Nadu, and we will extend you our full cooperation.
In Tamil Nadu, there is no need to wait in government offices or in the minister’s office. We extend our cooperation for all files.
Your investment will create new jobs for the youth of Tamil Nadu. In Tamil Nadu, 19% of people are unemployed. If the best investment is made in Tamil Nadu over the next three years, Tamil Nadu will achieve 400 percent growth in infrastructure.
Women’s participation is low in the northern and southern districts. In these areas—Dharmapuri, Cuddalore, Tiruvannamalai, Krishnagiri, Kallakurichi, and Tirunelveli—women are still confined to their homes without pursuing higher education. “In the next five years, Tamil Nadu will become India’s sports capital,” said Aadhav Arjuna.
