Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Anurag Singh Thakur on Monday said that Tamil Nadu was lagging behind Karnataka in the start-up ecosystem and also that the State could have attracted more investments if there was a clean government in place.
Canvassing for BJP Chennai South Lok Sabha constituency candidate Tamilisai Soundararajan at an event organised at the Rajasthan Youth Association Madras Metro in T. Nagar, he said that under 10 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi government investments into India have increased to $81 billion from $33 billion in 2014.
Due to Mr. Modi’s good governance and development, investments are coming into India and States, including Tamil Nadu, are taking advantage. It is a good sign as it generates employment and brings many other benefits, he said.
