The Governor and the Chief Minister should work together in tandem for the betterment for the State, said Pattali Makkal Katchi leader and MP Anbumani Ramadoss at Coimbatore Airport on November 18.
Talking to presspersons on arrival from Chennai, he said that the functioning of Governor should be apolitical and neutral and should reflect the constitutional post that he holds. He has every right to question the Government and return the Bills but withholding the Bills is not right. The functioning of Governor R. N. Ravi should not stall the growth of the State.
The State government is planning a Global Investors Meet in Chennai on January 7 and 8, Dr. Anbumani said that before luring overseas investments, the State should act to retain the industries that are at present functioning. Fifty per cent of the MSME’s are closed due to yarn price and GST confusions, but the State government’s decision to revise the electricity tariff twice in a year and peak hour tariff has really come as a death blow. He said that reduction of peak hour tariff from 25% to 15% will not suffice and he wanted the complete withdrawal of the peak hour tariff. Without protecting the existing industries, turning the State’s economy into a one trillion economy will not happen.
