Tamil Nadu BJP president Nainar Nagenthran has criticized the DMK-led state government, alleging that it falsely claims credit for central welfare schemes. Speaking after inaugurating the NDA election office, Nagenthran pointed out that the central government funds initiatives such as drinking water infrastructure, road projects, and housing schemes.

Nagenthran further accused Chief Minister M K Stalin's administration of being a 'family rule', riddled with law and order issues, including rampant drug usage and inadequate administration. He claimed that the state's assistance schemes were strategically timed for elections, while several poll promises remain unfulfilled.
