@JanhaviNilekani what a strange way to frame this! "people are not satisfied with it" or "it is not nearly good enough nor accessible enough nor funded enough and in many states it's a straight up disaster"? which would be more accurate?
The infographic is built around real numbers, but it presents them in a way that maximizes alarm rather than providing a balanced assessment of Tamil Nadu's finances.
It highlights that direct state debt is projected to rise from ₹5.70 lakh crore in 2021-22 to ₹10.62 lakh crore by 2026-27, and then combines this with PSU liabilities and other obligations to arrive at a total fiscal burden of ₹13.18 lakh crore.
The use of terms such as "Debt/Burden Explosion," "Fiscal Damage," and "Per Head Debt Burden" is intended to create the impression that Tamil Nadu is facing an unprecedented financial crisis.
However, the infographic does not provide important context. Tamil Nadu is one of India's largest state economies, with a GSDP exceeding ₹35 lakh crore, and economists generally assess debt sustainability using the debt-to-GSDP ratio rather than absolute debt figures alone.
While the state's debt, interest payments (₹78,677 crore), pension commitments (₹45,323 crore), and revenue deficit (₹48,696 crore) are genuine concerns that warrant scrutiny, these numbers by themselves do not indicate fiscal collapse.
The infographic also omits discussion of economic growth, industrial investment, tax revenue expansion, infrastructure spending, and comparisons with other major states. As a result, readers are encouraged to focus solely on the rise in debt while overlooking the state's capacity to service that debt.
A more balanced conclusion would be that Tamil Nadu faces increasing fiscal pressure and needs stronger fiscal discipline, but the available data does not support the claim that the state is in a financial emergency or on the verge of bankruptcy.
I don't think the person posted this has any capacity to understand economics at this scale. All he wants is emotional manipulation.
@sharathjothi Do you really think they do not know this? They do. They are only spreading this to bring in a sense of panic in common folks, so that they would go easy on TVK when they eventually fail to fulfill their poll promises. For the next 5 years they'll run this campaign and win again.

Craziest thing I wanted to highlight this week is about a pediatrician fighting tooth and nail against fake ORS product marketed by a huge money loaded private pharma company who legally threatened her for calling out THEIR bluff...
...and then she finding herself at a national pediatric conference which was majorly sponsored by THE same company and all pediatricians there, including the president of the pediatric organization chilling with the sponsor money...
...when children across the country are fed rebranded fake ORS.
Someone should make a short film documentary out of this. Fact is stranger than fiction.
All other idiocies in this stupid ass tweet aside, Vijay will have to meet people non-stop, 24*7 for the next 761 years if he has to meet everyone in Tamil Nadu for 5 mins each.
