The smart-meter tender - the @TVKVijayHQ government is the one floating the bids under the Centre’s RDSS scheme covering about 1.7 crore LT consumers, including roughly 57 lakh in the #Chennai region. Finance minister @MarieWilson_TVK had already flagged Chennai coverage in the August budget. The previous @arivalayam government dropped an earlier version after Left and union pressure; this round is moving again after earlier tenders were cancelled. There is no public indication that the @CMOTamilnadu office has engaged with @Shanmugamcpim 7 October demand. Outside supporters issue such statements routinely. Governments usually treat them as noise unless the issue becomes a street-level problem or the floor numbers tighten.
