BJP State President Annamalai has criticized the DMK government’s functioning, alleging inefficiency across departments. In his post on X (formerly Twitter), he raised several allegations, particularly focusing on discrepancies in statements from the School Education Department regarding outstanding dues to BSNL.
Key Points Highlighted by Annamalai:
- BSNL Outstanding Payment Issue:
- On December 19, 2024, the Joint Director of Vocational Education in the School Education Department issued a letter instructing all District Education Officers to immediately settle ₹1.5 crore in dues to BSNL.
- The letter noted that BSNL had warned of discontinuing services if the payment was not made.
- Contradictory Statement by the Minister:
- The School Education Minister, during a press briefing, denied the existence of any pending dues to BSNL.
- This contradictory claim raises questions about the reliability of information within the department.
- Annamalai’s Criticism:
- He accused the DMK government of being a “propaganda-driven regime” that focuses on publicizing trivial achievements while failing to ensure efficient departmental functioning.
- He urged the Minister to stop “false claims” and to prioritize settling the dues to ensure students’ educational services are not disrupted.
Context:
The issue highlights a conflict between departmental communications and the Minister’s public statements, drawing attention to potential lapses in transparency. Annamalai’s call for immediate action emphasizes the need to resolve this issue promptly to safeguard students’ education facilities from being affected.
