Gandhian offers to pay up his share of State debt
The Hindu
He responds to Finance Minister’s statement on each family’s share of the burden
T. Ramesh wrote a cheque for ₹2.63 lakh, a precise amount targeted at ensuring that his component of Tamil Nadu’s debt burden was at least repaid. The 41-year-old Namakkal resident, who claims he is a Gandhian, came forward to hand over a cheque for the amount to government authorities here, on the heels of Finance Minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan’s statement after releasing the White Paper on the State’s finances. Computing each family’s share of the public debt burden of Tamil Nadu, the Finance Minister put it at ₹2.63 lakh per family. When he landed up at the office of the Revenue Divisional Officer here on Monday with a huge replica of a cheque for the amount, he, naturally, attracted the attention of media persons.
