By citing that the guidelines of the scheme will be released soon, the Chief Minister said that the amount will be paid into the bank account of the women heads. 

In what has become his third budget, Thiaga Rajan has made a splash through his key announcements and allocations. 

Announcing the scheme, the finance minister said that it will be launched on September 15, on the occasion of former Chief Minister and DMK stalwart CN Annadurai's birth anniversary, by Chief Minister MK Stalin. 

The finance minister further announced that Rs 7000 crore will be allotted for the scheme, adding that the eligibility criteria and protocols to avail the scheme will be announced soon.

Stalin's words were reflective of this aim as he urged the party functionaries to concentrate on the polls to bag all the Lok Sabha constituencies in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.

As the development had a rampant attention with the opposition parties and the government employees of MTC had voiced against such drive, the government has responded back. 

The leaders who extended their birthday greetings to Stalin Jacob on Thursday would ended up expressing condolences to his family on Friday.

It is pertinent to note that Elangovan has surpassed the margin kept by his son Thirumahan Everaa in the 2021 assembly polls from Erode East.

The new political game for Elangovan is to replace his deceased son Thirumahan Everaa as the Erode East MLA and to resume where he had left off. 

While the official result will be announced on Thursday afternoon, it is most likely that Elangovan will triumph the race and the Congress will retain its numbers in the assembly.
