Chief Minister M.K. Stalin will call on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi on Thursday to discuss various issues, including the funds due to Tamil Nadu, the tax allocation to the State and the request pending before the Union government for relief to offset losses incurred during floods.
During his visit to the national capital, Mr. Stalin will also call on Union Ministers Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari, Nirmala Sitharaman and Piyush Goyal. The DMK president is also set to hold discussions with leaders from the Congress and other like-minded parties.
Since the DMK government is keen on securing an exemption for Tamil Nadu from the ambit of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test, the Chief Minister is expected to take up with the Prime Minister a Bill adopted by the Assembly against the Central test, which has been pending with the Governor.
