Talking to reporters at the Airport here, Paneerselvam said the budget, to be presented tomorrow, would provide funds necessary for various projects as sought by the State.
On the Cauvery issue, he said it was the right of Tamil Nadu to seek its share of Cauvery water and similarly it was the duty of Karnataka to release it to the state.
The government was exerting pressure on the NEET issue, during every meeting with the prime minister, he said.
