He noted that this comes after the state posted an 11.19 per cent growth rate the previous year, significantly outpacing the national average of 7.4 per cent.
“Double-digit growth two years in a row. Not noise. Not propaganda. Just plain factual numbers...While some are busy dividing people, Tamil Nadu is busy multiplying prosperity,” Rajaa said in a post on X. This happens when governance is driven by industry-first policies and stable leadership focused on social justice under Chief Minister MK Stalin, the minister claimed.

“No shortcuts. No slogans. Just results. This becomes even more special when one factors the trade headwinds and tariff wars. Let this be clear: the Dravidian model doesn’t just speak. It delivers,” he said.
