In June 2021, CM Stalin announced that the law ministry will review the legal cases filed by the previous government. The Tamil Nadu government under Stalin withdrew legal cases against the press and the protestors seeking the repeal of the three farm laws promulgated by the Union government, Citizenship Amendment Act, methane extraction, neutrino project, Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant and the Chennai-Salem Expressway project.[6][7]
