Mon Jan 27 01:15:06 IST 2025: ## Ruling Party and Opposition Clash Over Tamil Nadu’s Davos Performance
**Chennai, January 27, 2025** – A war of words erupted between Tamil Nadu’s ruling DMK and the opposition AIADMK on Sunday over the state’s participation in the World Economic Forum in Davos. AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami criticized the state’s performance, citing reports that other states like Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh secured investment agreements while Tamil Nadu did not. He dismissed the government’s claims of receiving investment proposals.
In response, Industries Minister T.R.B. Rajaa countered Palaniswami’s criticism, highlighting a report from the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister that ranked Tamil Nadu as the second-largest economy in India. Rajaa asserted that the state’s economic growth continued under Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s leadership. The exchange underscores the ongoing political sparring between the two major parties in Tamil Nadu.
