During a recent statement, Piyush Goyal (Union Minister for Commerce and Industry) defended the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) decision to allocate the first PM Mitra Park to Tamil Nadu, located in Virudhunagar. He argued that if the BJP were engaging in petty politics, it would have chosen a state governed by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) or the BJP for this project. Goyal addressed questions regarding the BJP's 'double-engine sarkar' slogan, which some critics claim implies that voters must support the ruling party to receive central schemes. He reiterated that the park's establishment is a testament to the central government's commitment to development across all states, regardless of political affiliations.
