SALEM: AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami questioned, "Why is CM M K Stalin silent on corruption allegations levelled against his family members."
Addressing the party cadre at Edappadi on Sunday, Palaniswami said, "Corruption is rampant in the DMK regime. An audio clip where the finance minister alleges that the Chief Minister’s son and son-in-law are involved in Rs 30,000 crore corruption was circulated on social media recently. But the finance minister says his voice was cut and pasted. The Chief Minister is yet to deny the claim or respond to it but remains silent.”
He added, “Law and order have broken down in Tamil Nadu. An average of six murders take place in the state every day. Officials who try to prevent the plunder of natural resources are murdered. In many places, the officials are under threat from the sand mafia. This is because an incompetent Chief Minister ruled Tamil Nadu.”
