5-Year Recap (2021–2026)
AI GeneratedFrom 2021-2026, Thattanchavady saw significant central investments and infrastructure projects under schemes like Ayushman Bharat and Smart Cities Mission. The ₹13,600 crore 2025-26 Puducherry budget prioritized development, while ₹2,700 crore was allocated for road improvements. However, Chief Minister Rangasamy faced criticism for unfulfilled statehood promises, electricity privatization plans, and 45% youth unemployment. Civic protests highlighted inadequate drainage and flooding issues, while industrial growth remained limited. The 2026 election features a high-stakes battle between incumbent Rangasamy (AINRC) and former CM Vaithilingam (INC). Voters should consider both infrastructure improvements and lingering governance challenges.
