Speech
of Prof. K. Anbazhagan, Minister for Finance, Government of Tamil Nadu,
presenting the Revised Budget for 2006-2007 to the Legislative Assembly on 22nd
July, 2006.
Hon'ble
Speaker Sir,
The
great Saint Thiruvalluvar, gleaming at the trijunction of seas at Kanyakumari as
the universally acclaimed and accepted unique cultural symbol of the classical
Tamil language said:
(There
is nothing impossible to those who thoroughly consider their act with chosen
friends and reflect themselves well before they act.)
I
rise to present this august House, the Revised Budget Estimates for the year
2006-2007 which has been prepared keeping in mind these great words and the
cherished goal of ushering the State in the path of growth and prosperity.
2.
In the political history of Tamil Nadu, in 1967 Perarignar Anna formed an all
party alliance, won the electoral battle and formed the DMK Government. On his
sudden demise Hon'ble Kalaignar, following his sanctified footsteps in public
life and with the aim of fostering the welfare of people, assumed office of
Chief Minister for the first time in 1969 and for the fifth time now.
3.
In the recent elections to the Legislative Assembly, the people of Tamil Nadu
have given a massive mandate to the Democratic Progressive Alliance of which the
Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam is a partner. This Budget has been prepared to make
true the Kalaignar's statement at the time of releasing the election manifesto
that, "This manifesto will become the Budget of this Government". This
Budget is nothing but the fulfilment of our promise that "We will do what
we say; we will say what we do."
4.
With the State Autonomy principle of extending a hand of cooperation and at the
same time raising voice for our rights firmly etched in our minds, various
schemes have been formulated in this Budget for improving the lives of the poor
working class and the middle class. I hope that Hon'ble Members would welcome
these schemes.
5.
This Government is determined to uphold the rights of our State and promote the
well being of our people by adopting a non-confrontationist attitude towards the
Central Government and the neighbouring State Governments.
