I totally agree with most of the points shared by @ptrmadurai 👌 he has done so much for local government finances and several wonderful reforms were implemented through the Sixth State Finance Commission during his tenure. The problem is the media doesn’t talk much about it. 17K views · 66 likes · 10 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

Since I am tagged here, let me set a few things straight: 1) I am happy to defend my personal record as a Minister on any of the ~7,500 files I processed as Finance & HRM Minister between '21 - '23, or the ~100 I processed as IT Minister between '23 and '26 2) I cannot be held 151.1K views · 2.3K likes · 691 reposts · 143 replies Open on X →

A long interview,,,couldn’t find any meaningful differences in the facts, stats, or views to argue against. As my background & experience are different than Raghu’s, I have a different view on govt functions.
