Letter To PM on Acute Power Shortage Prevailing in TN.

Text of the D.O. letter dated  23.10.2012 addressed by Selvi J Jayalalithaa, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu to  Dr. Manmohan Singh, Hon’ble Prime Minister of India is reproduced below:-

  “I would like to draw your kind attention to my earlier letters regarding the acute power shortage prevailing in the State and the necessity to allocate additional power of 1000 MW to Tamil Nadu to partly mitigate the crisis. However, a meagre quantum of 100 MW alone was allocated to Ta

 There is severe shortage of power in Tamil Nadu due to the failure of the South West Monsoon and the constraints we face in buying power from sources outside the Southern Region due to corridor congestion. Due to the demand  - supply gap of about 4000 MW which is the highest in the Southern Region, widespread load shedding is being resorted to causing severe hardship to the consumers. The Agriculture Sector has also been amongst the worst hit due to the failure of the monsoon and inadequate power supply, thereby affecting food production.

 I have already pointed out that the deficit situation in Tamil Nadu has been aggravated due to corridor congestion and have repeatedly requested your urgent intervention to ensure that the required quantum of 1000 MW of power transmission capacity is made available to enable Tamil Nadu to receive the power contracted by the TANGEDCO.

 The Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi has proposed to surrender power from various Central Generating Stations for the period from 1.11.2012 to 31.3.2013 for a quantum of 230 MW Round the Clock (00.00 to 24.00 hrs) and 1491 MW during 00.00 to 6.00 hrs. The Chairman-cum-Managing Director, TANGEDCO, has requested the Ministry of Power,  Government  of India,  New  Delhi,  to  reallocate  the  entire  quantum  of surrendered power to Tamil Nadu and to arrange to provide the necessary corridor on priority basis for availing of the above power.

I request your kind intervention to tide over this acute power crisis in Tamil Nadu. “

Statement of the Honble Chief Minister on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)

Press Statement of Selvi J.jayalalithaa, Hon'ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu - 6.10.2012.

     The UPA Government is unfazed by the sufferings of the common people, small traders and small farmers. The UPA’s latest FDI flag is diversionary - more to anesthetize the mammoth corruption charges  against the UPA Government especially when elections seem imminent. 

     The Cabinet’s approval on these issues, toting these as big ticket reforms which would accelerate unprecedented growth and boost a sagging economy is premature. 

     Increasing FDI from 26% to 49% in the Insurance Sector and opening up FDI up to 26% in Pension funds will be operational only if the relevant bills viz. Pension Fund Regulatory & Development Authority (PFRDA) Bill, 2011, and Insurance Law (Amendment) Bill, 2008, are passed by both the Houses of Parliament where the UPA faces a number crunch.

      26% FDI in the Insurance Sector was permitted, but nothing appreciable has come out of it.  Hiking it to 49% against a Parliamentary Committee recommendation will prove disastrous. As to whether they have the right to jeopardize this crucial sector is a debatable issue. Limiting the capital requirement to Rs.50 Crores for Insurance Companies will  result in the mushrooming of small companies lacking experience and capability and will be fraught with danger. This will unnecessarily expose our public to the risk of uncertainty. 

      Allowing FDI into pension funds and channelling the domestic savings of elderly persons into the highly risky and unpredictable capital market will place the future of  senior citizens at tremendous risk. 

      FDI in the Insurance Sector will lead to the emergence and dominance of Private Insurance Companies whose motives will be totally commercial. Consequently, the Public Sector Insurance Companies like LIC which participate actively in the developmental process will suffer. As a result, the developmental process of the nation itself will be adversely and severely affected.

       This move at best is a gimmick and at worst an unworthy risk. The act of disguising harmful decisions and promoting them under the name of grand reforms amounts to deceiving the people of the country. No amount of rhetoric will change the truth. I strongly oppose these moves as they are detrimental to the future of the common people of this country.

Vision 2023 - TN Budget for the year 2012-2013

     The current economic scenario calls for a farsighted and target oriented approach from the Government to make Tamil Nadu the most prosperous and progressive State in the country. Our Hon’ble Chief Minister has responded to the challenge and 6 has formulated a Tamil Nadu Vision 2023 Document for the State, with clear goals to be achieved by the year 2023, coinciding with the next two Five Year Plans.  This vision statement, which revolves around ten important themes, has been unveiled by our Hon’ble Chief Minister on 22nd March 2012.  The vision document aspires for a six fold growth in per-capital income over the next 10 years and aims at inclusive growth and making the State poverty free.  The Vision 2023 aims at making Tamil Nadu the State having the best infrastructure services in all vital sectors as well as the highest Human Development Index (HDI) ranking in India.

      Our Hon’ble Chief Minister’s vision also spells out a clear strategy for achieving these lofty goals.  This strategy would include,  inter alia, increasing the share of manufacturing in the State’s economy; making the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MS&ME) sector more vibrant; imparting skills; improving agricultural productivity and making Tamil Nadu the Knowledge Capital and Innovation Hub of India.

      This Vision document also envisages a total investment in key infrastructure projects of Rs.15,00,000 crores, which would create huge positive externalities and open up the economy for rapid growth.  This Budget has been drafted with 7 these policy goals in mind.  As already promised, we will shortly introduce legislation to form the Tamil Nadu Infrastructure Development Board with the Hon’ble Chief Minister as the Chairperson to commence implementation of the new projects.  We have allocated Rs.1,000 crores to begin with, for the Tamil Nadu Infrastructure Development Fund in the Budget Estimates for 2012 2013.  I am confident that it would mark a remarkable beginning in our ambitious journey towards achieving the goals of Vision 2023.
