NEW DELHI: DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin on Thursday claimed that the TVK-led Tamil Nadu government had failed to introduce any new schemes in the state, while neither implementing nor scrapping those launched by the previous DMK-led government.“It has been 116 days since this government came to power. It has not introduced a single scheme; instead, it is neither endorsing the schemes brought by the DMK regime nor scrapping them,” the leader of opposition said, referring to the TVK’s victory in the April assembly elections, which brought the Vijay-led party to power just two years after its launch.Udhayanidhi also took a dig at chief minister C Joseph Vijay’s past as an actor.“The Tamil Nadu government was in top gear when the DMK was in power, but it is now in reverse gear under TVK rule. There is a contradiction between promises and announcements. The TVK government is concentrating only on promoting reels content,” he added.The former deputy chief minister also alleged a “collapse” of law and order in the state and sought answers from the chief minister, who also holds the police portfolio.Meanwhile, CM Vijay on Thursday made a fresh set of major announcements, including the establishment of a “world-class” Tamil Nadu Olympic City in Chennai.According to the Chief Minister’s Office, the Olympic City will be developed by the Tamil Nadu Sports Development Authority and feature world-class sports arenas, state-of-the-art equipment, a High Performance Training Centre, and dedicated Sports Science and Sports Medicine centres.
