CHENNAI: The assembly on Friday witnessed heated exchanges between the AIADMK and the DMK over the pre-poll promises of the party in office, including 1,000 monthly assistance to all women heads of families, incentives to sugarcane and paddy farmers, increase in days of employment under MGNREGA to 150 days and daily wages to 300.
Participating in the budget debate, former minister K P Munusamy said the government has announced 195 over and above the Fair and Remunerative Price of 2,821/tonne of sugarcane of the Centre. "The DMK made a poll promise of 4,000. The difference should be paid next year," the member said.
Agriculture and farmers welfare minister M R K Panneerselvam said the efforts taken by the government resulted in a rise in cultivation of sugarcane by 1.55 lakh hectares in the past two years.
Rural development and panchayat raj minister I Periasamy intervened to say the government had paid 281/day under MGNREGS and the state government saw 32 crore person days even as the Centre had allotted only 25 crore person days, and it would be increased to 35 crore person days.
Finance minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan said the AIADMK regime left an outstanding debt of 1.34 lakh crore in Tangedco after its 10-year rule.
