Tamil Nadu Finance Minister Palanivel Thiagarajan speaks on a range of issues making headlines, from freebies to alleged central agency misuse, from the GST council to the central bank. "The term freebie" means nothing. Only MLAs have a say in the state's budget. The DMK MP for South Chennai and the MP for Varanasi have no say or control over how the Tamil Nadu budget is set. No MLA gets to say how the Union Budget is set. MPs can only have a say about the Union government's budget. The Union government is controlling the state's finances. It is the job of the government to provide welfare. When they give me a freebie when I do it, it's a freebie, "says Tamil Nadu Finance Minister, Palanivel Thiagarajan.
