The Tamil Nadu government, recently formed under the Tamilaga Velai Thunai Katchi (TVK), will cooperate with the central government but will oppose the delimitation process, which they believe unfairly targets states that have adhered to population control norms. Minister KG Arunraj, a former IRS officer, stated that the TVK is committed to cooperative federalism while emphasizing the rights of states. He described the delimitation process as a 'biased' move designed to punish southern states. Arunraj highlighted the party's foundation in Dravidian ideology, rationalism, and social justice, asserting that the electorate chose the TVK based on its policies rather than financial power. The government's immediate priorities include enhancing law and order, addressing drug-related issues, ensuring women's safety, and providing basic needs to the poor. Additionally, Arunraj mentioned plans to create a developmental roadmap and improve the ease of doing business in Tamil Nadu, promising a pro-business atmosphere with a human touch.
