Tamil Nadu Finance White Paper present by TN govt: In a nutshell.
• TN’s fiscal position worsened continuously in the post-Covid period (2021–26), while peer states such as Karnataka, Maharashtra and Gujarat improved/stabilised.
• Outstanding debt nearly doubled:
₹5.13 lakh crore (2021) → ~₹10 lakh crore (2026)
• Revenue deficit hit a record:
₹46,538 crore → ₹78,324 crore
(State borrowing increasingly used for day-to-day spending)
• Own tax collection weakened:
Tax effort fell from 5.93% → 5.45% of GSDP. Lowest level recorded for TN.
• Interest burden surged:
Interest payments rose 61%
₹41,564 crore → ₹67,050 crore
• TN now spends more on servicing debt than creating future assets:
Interest payments exceed capital expenditure (1.32:1).
• Capital expenditure declined:
1.79% → 1.44% of GSDP
• Salaries pensions interest now consume:
64% of revenue receipts
~87% revenue already committed before budgeting.
• Government guarantees almost tripled:
₹65,659 crore → ₹1.8 lakh crore
• Including PSU liabilities, total fiscal exposure estimated at:
~₹13.18 lakh crore
• Fiscal deficit stayed above FRBM limit (3%) every year;
2025–26 estimated at record ₹1.33 lakh crore.
• White Paper flags:
— Revenue leakages
— Systemic corruption in revenue departments
— Rising expenditure pressure
— Need for PSU reforms & debt correction
• 2026–27 outlook:
Revenue deficit could reach ~₹90,500 crore vs ₹48,696 crore projected in Interim Budget.
• Warning:
TN’s ageing population may shrink tax capacity while increasing welfare & healthcare spending.
Bottom line:
The paper argues TN’s fiscal stress is structural, not temporary and calls for tighter revenue mobilisation, expenditure discipline, PSU reform and cleaner governance.

Indians go to dangerous places because there aren’t enough opportunities at home.
3 Indians killed by a US Navy missile strike on a commercial vessel with a flag of convenience.
Hundreds of Indian sailors are stranded on ships west of the Hormuz right now.
Indians are the most abandoned seafarers in the world — sailors stranded on ships whose owners simply walked away, without food, power, or pay. Over 3 lakh Indian seafarers work for all kinds of owners including shady ones.
Indians keep getting trapped in conflict zones. Kuwait 1990. Lebanon 2006. Libya 2011. Yemen 2015. Afghanistan 2021. Ukraine 2022. Sudan 2023. 1 crore Indians in the Gulf at risk from Iranian missiles, falling debris. There has been Indian fatalities.
Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos — lured with fake IT jobs, passports seized, forced into crypto and other scams.
In Russia — 217 Indians recruited as “support workers,” sent to the Ukraine frontline. 49 confirmed dead.
Tens of thousands more are out there in dangerous conditions across the world, simply because there aren’t enough opportunities at home.
This is the cost of our policies over the decades.

US Unapologetic Over Sailors' Death
BREAKING || Congress MP Shashi Tharoor trains guns on the US
- 'How can a friend be so insensitive?'
- 'No regret or condolences from US'
- 'American approach is unacceptable'

Strong protest 🤮🤢
Jun 12
Spoke to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio this evening. I reiterated India’s strong protest at the attacks by the US Navy in the Gulf that killed three Indian mariners. Such lethal actions against commercial shipping are not justified.

Finally the embassy got the memo
What a shame @DrSJaishankar
The Embassy remains in close touch with family members of the Indian national Mr. Nishanth Uirthanathan who unfortunately lost his life due to medical conditions, crew members of the vessel and concerned authorities. Efforts are underway to facilitate the earliest possible disembarkation and repatriation of his mortal remains.

Strait of Hormuz Crisis:
@FSUIINDIA says: “#MTCelestial (off Oman coast): 35-year-old Second Officer Nishanth Uirthanathan (Tamil Nadu) passed away on June 11 after falling seriously ill. His body has remained onboard for over 2 days with no proper refrigeration. Crew is using cold water bottles in a desperate attempt to slow decomposition — a horrifying and health-risking situation.”

Whoever justifies purchase of hugely overpriced MQ-9, P8I, Romeo, SIG rifles, Chinook, M-777, F-404, F-414, Javelin, KC-135 and other stuff is either on American payroll or an idiot.
If India buys American weapons, it doesn't buy influence too. It only buys more dependence and loss of whatever nearly mythical strategic autonomy is left.

“This is the dead body of our second officer. He died two days ago and his body is decomposing. We reached out to the Indian Embassy but haven’t got a positive response. Our company is hiding from us,” says Indian captain of MT Celestial anchored in Oman

US did not fire on their own citizens(Sailor) but on Indian sailors in Hormuz .
A Shadow fleet driven by American sailors attempted to evade U.S. sanctions and move illicit oil. By refusing lawful orders from the U.S. Coast Guard and leading them on a chase across the Atlantic Ocean
Jun 12
This defendant put American sailors’ and Coast Guardsmen’s lives at risk while attempting to evade U.S. sanctions and move illicit oil. By refusing lawful orders from the U.S. Coast Guard and leading them on a chase across the Atlantic Ocean, he not only obstructed federal law enforcement, but forced our service members to carry out a dangerous boarding operation in heavy seas.
Today’s guilty plea makes clear that those who endanger American service members and attempt to undermine our sanctions laws will be held fully accountable.

Big clean up drive in Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay’s #MAWS dept and @chennaicorp: Overall 100 officials transferred enmasse.
The CM has given a free hand for officials to transfer and take action if they find credibility and track record of officials questionable. No need to wait for his concurrence.
Previously, files to transfer officials have to be sent to ministers and even CM making decision difficult for officials.
Key reasons for recent transfers include:
1) To break nexus of long service officials and local councillors, politicians
2)To break postings done through favouritism
3)To put new officials so the old scheme of things isn’t followed esp in town planning
4)Many AEs are local residents and go home between work hours
5) Ensure localised irregularities don’t sprout up
Some town planners in few districts have served even for 30 years in same dept.
