MK Stalin, the chief minister of Tamil Nadu and the president of the DMK, will arrive in Delhi today for a two-day visit. During his visit to the national capital, he will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Stalin is visiting New Delhi for the first time since taking office as Tamil Nadu chief minister last month.
Despite the fact that the chief minister’s office has not released an official agenda for Stalin’s visit, discussions are expected to focus on the issues raised by Stalin in recent communications to the Prime Minister.
The DMK president wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, requesting that the ministry of petroleum and natural gas cancel the bid process for hydrocarbon extraction in the Vadatheru Block of the Cauvery Basin in Pudukkottai district.
The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister urged the Prime Minister to instruct the Ministry to consult the State government “ab initio” before auctioning any area in Tamil Nadu for hydrocarbon exploration and extraction in the future.
Tamil Nadu’s health minister, Ma Subramanian, said on Sunday that the state’s chief minister will request more Covid vaccines from the federal government. “The number of deaths is expected to drop in the coming days. People should come forward to get vaccinated because it is the only way to prevent corona infection “According to the minister.
Stalin tweeted earlier this month that he had written to Prime Minister Modi urging him to cancel the NEET and all other national level entrance exams, citing the students’ safety during Covid-19. Stalin said the reasons for cancelling the Class 12 board exams are also applicable to entrance exams, in a letter shared on Twitter.
Stalin also wrote to Prime Minister Modi about the state of Tamil Nadu’s GST debts and allocations for various development schemes.
