The Hindu
Speaking at a public meeting at Rameswaram before flagging off BJP State president K. Annamalai’s ‘En Mann En Makkal’ yatra, he asked whether it was right to retain a jailed man as a Minister. He said Mr. Stalin would not ask the Minister to resign as he knew the latter would reveal all the secrets about the government’s corruption.
BJP leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Friday that Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin should be “ashamed” of allowing V. Senthilbalaji, arrested by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) in an alleged money-laundering case, to continue as a Minister.
Speaking at a public meeting at Rameswaram before flagging off BJP State president K. Annamalai’s ‘En Mann En Makkal’ yatra, he asked whether it was right to retain a jailed man as a Minister.
He said Mr. Stalin would not ask the Minister to resign as he knew the latter would reveal all the secrets about the government’s corruption.
Mr. Shah termed the DMK government the “most corrupt government” in the country. Claiming that there was corruption in every government department in Tamil Nadu, he asked what had happened to the DMK’s over 500 election promises.
He accused the government of working against the welfare of the poor.
According to him, every tweet of Mr. Annamalai on corruption allegations against the DMK was “rattling” the Tamil Nadu government. He wondered what would happen by the time Mr. Annamalai completed the yatra, “exposing the government’s corruption”.
The yatra, he felt, would bring an end to the corrupt and dynastic politics in Tamil Nadu.
