It's been one year of the #MKStalinGovernment in Recall there was some scepticism. My sense is people are generally satisfied with the level of governance and I would personally rate its performance better than most other states that got new governments in May 2021. #TamilNadu

#MKStalinGovernment 2/n Although one has not seen any "big-bang" moves, the key has been his appointing competent and efficient bureaucrats around him (believe that was the Karunanidhi model too) and @ptrmadurai is an asset providing him the bandwidth for politics. #TamilNadu 3/n

#MKStalinGovernment 3/n Surely, there have been a few stress points on religio-political issues, some isolated controversies and the NEET stand-off But, by and large, the frictions have been less than what one has seen in some other non-BJP ruled states. 4/n #TamilNadu

#MKStalinGovernment 4/n Overall, as DMK allies recognise, @mkstalin has led with maturity. Altho' it came to power after a well contested fight with arch rival AIADMK and an assertive BJP there was no post-poll violence unlike in another state. 5/n #TamilNadu

#MKStalinGovernment 5/n Finally, although there has been no big-ticket economic intervention despite the high profile Economic Advisory Council, #TamilNadu has maintained steady stream of investments indicating a stable and conducive industrial climate. 5/5 #TamilNadu

@threadreaderapp Pls unroll thread

Only score where I would rate the #MKStalinGovernment government low is the slow speed of #COVID19 vaccination. But, would cut some slack there as it came to power in the thick of the second wave and took some time to get its act together. #DMKGovt #TamilNadu
