Farsightedness Of The Chief Minister

Muslim Murasu, December 2012

15 lakh crore rupees is needed to build infrastructure in Tamilnadu. Target is to make Tamilnadu the number one state in the next eleven years.
Tamilnadu has received foreign investment of around 1.75 lakh crore rupees in the past 18 months. National GDP growth is 5.8 percent. Tamilnadu Chief Minster targets a growth of 11 percent for the state. It is a laudable long term objective. Financial Times has asserted Tamilnadu as a successful state. It is number one in automobiles and electronics industry. 10 lakh crore rupees has been the foreign investment.
It is a matter of pride that global players have confidence in Tamilnadu and investing here. Current per capita income in the state is 73,278 rupees. Target is to take it to four and a half lakh rupees in the next eleven years. People are divided; some say it can be done, some say it is not possible and some say it is not at all possible. First type is made of constructive thinkers. Second ones are habitual naysayers. Third type is useless category. They are compulsive pessimists. They see only failures.
It is the foremost duty of Tamilians to support the vision of the Chief Minister. Tamil society, especially politicians and social activists should prepare themselves to shoulder big responsibilities.
Investments from overseas corporations will retain Tamilnadu as a peaceful region. No one will come forward to invest in an environment of violence, riots, strikes, shutdowns, plundering, extortion or land scams. Industrial investments bear witness to peaceful, conducive lifestyle in Tamilnadu. It is a boon and a promise.
Profits can be divided into three parts. First share belongs to the company. Second part should be invested for the welfare of the Tamil society. Quality educational institutions and internationally benchmarked hospitals for poor should be opened. Money shall be spent for the wellbeing of the people. Third share should be used for company expansion, employee salary, welfare funds, permit expenses, kickbacks, pension funds and industry security. If this formula is implemented, clouds will gather and shower rain. The message that the Chief Minister gave on the occasion of Bakrid is a throwback to the period of Holy Books. This will fit in current industrial era as well. Faithful, religious people will support to make Chief Minister’s zeal and vision a success.
