DMK trying to find new means of money laundering, says BJP

The Hindu  

The BJP on April 21 accused the DMK-led government in Tamil Nadu of corruption and said that it would seek a CBI probe into alleged irregularities in the Chennai Metro Rail project. Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters in New Delhi, BJP national spokesperson Syed Zafar Islam alleged that the ruling DMK had been making “shameful attempts” of finding new means of money laundering and ways to hide the money made through unfair practices. Mr. Islam said the “DMK Files”, released by BJP Tamil Nadu chief, K. Annamalai, documented well the corruption and amassing of wealth by the DMK leaders through unfair practices. Udhayanidhi Stalin, DMK youth wing chief and Tamil Nadu Minister, on Wednesday sent a legal notice to Mr. Annamalai over the allegations made by him in the “DMK Files,” demanding him to pay ₹50 crore as damages, besides an unconditional apology. The DMK has already sent Mr. Annamalai a ₹500-crore legal notice allegedly for making “baseless” allegations against the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister.
