Chennai sources stated that DMK president MK Stalin on Sunday alleged Rs 350 crore corruption in the tender for procurement of communication equipment for the police force in Tamilnadu, a charge dismissed by Chief Minister K Palaniswami as ‘a lie’. Meanwhile Stalin, the Leader of opposition in the Assembly, alleged “corruption in the Rs 350 crore tender for buying communication equipment including camera, CCTV, and digital mobile radio for the Tamilnadu police” and demanded a fair probe by the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption wing.
Furthermore it was “anguishing that the specter of AIADMK regime’s corruption,” has not even spared the police department, the DMK leader alleged in a statement. Perhaps in Salem, Palaniswami rejected the allegation as “a lie”. He told reporters when asked about Stalin’s charge “When he (Stalin) has not made such allegations? He has been making such claims since I took over as Chief Minister, what have they proved and it is a deliberate attempt and a lie”.
Moreover the corruption claims of the main opposition were “nothing new and are lies,” and such charges were leveled against the government in respect of a road sector project too. Perhaps Palanisamy said the DMK found fault with every scheme of the government, people knew the extent of “irregularities and corruption” during their previous regime.
