The Central government sanctioned ₹5,858.32 crore to Tamil Nadu in the last three years under the Samagra Shiksha scheme. “However, Mr. Stalin is trying to project the schemes implemented with the Central government funds as State government schemes,” he alleged.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Tamil Nadu president K. Annamalai on May 31 said Chief Minister M.K. Stalin was projecting schemes implemented in the State using Central government funds as those initiated by the DMK government.

Will the Chief Minister explain the contract?” Mr. Annamalai said.
