THOOTHUKUDI: Minister for Information and Publicity Kadambur Raju has said that the AIADMK will send DMK president MK Stalin to jail in the Sadiq Basha and Anna Nagar Ramesh’s murder cases on returning to power, once again, after the 2021 Assembly polls.
Talking to reporters in Thoothukudi on Wednesday, Raju said DMK deputy general secretary A Raja and Stalin were levelling charges against AIADMK leaders owing to fear of being jailed in 2G and other cases.
“Instead of promising people welfare schemes, the Opposition party leaders are accusing the ruling party leaders of corruption. Raja is not completely out of the 2G case as the CBI, which did not produce proper evidence before the special court, has gone for an appeal in the case.
During his visit to the Tamil Nadu, Union Home Minister Amit Shah reiterated this,” said Raju. He said parties in alliance with the DMK will soon join the AIADMK-led alliance to fight the 2021 Assembly polls.
