BJP accuses Tamil Nadu minister of massive corruption

ndtv.com —

The Tamil Nadu BJP leader K Annamalai accused state minister V Senthil Balaji of being the "kingpin" in a corruption scandal involving the Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation Limited (TASMAC). Annamalai claimed the scam could exceed Rs 1,000 crore. In response to recent Enforcement Directorate raids, Balaji denied the allegations and stated that the government would legally contest the claims. He emphasized that TASMAC operates transparently and has not changed its policies. AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami also alleged potential corruption of over Rs 40,000 crore in TASMAC. He called for the resignation of the DMK government, citing the lack of action following the ED's investigation.
