DMK says Agriculture Budget missed drought-hit Delta relief

Times of India reported that M.K. Stalin and Udhayanidhi Stalin criticised the Agriculture Budget as inadequate for drought-hit and Kuruvai-affected Delta farmers. The report also recorded the government's position that the Budget was prepared after consultations and included measures on farmer income, irrigation, crop insurance, and soil conservation. TVK Tracker keeps this as a contested public-policy file: the criticism is politically important, but the delivery question should be judged against published allocations, drought-relief orders, crop-loss assessments, insurance coverage, and actual payments to affected farmers.
