India, March 14 -- The Tamil Nadu Budget 2025-26 was presented in the state assembly by finance minister Thangam Thennarasu on March 14, as the government and the opposition parties clashed due to a controversial change in the rupee symbol in the Budget logo.

During Thennarasu's second Budget presentation, opposition parties AIADMK and BJP walked out to protest the DMK government for changing the Devanagari rupee symbol of the national currency to a Tamil letter as well as an ED raid into the stat-run liquor corporation TASMAC.

A discussion on the Budget will take place on March 17.
