Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Sunday said the Income Tax (I-T) Department and the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) were the BJP’s “alliance partners” and were used only to settle scores with the party’s political rivals.
“They are targeting our party leaders one by one. Now Minister E.V. Velu has been subjected to the raids. But the conviction rate in cases filed by the I-T Department and the ED is not even one percent,” Mr. Stalin said at a training programme for DMK booth agents of Chennai region in Tiruvallur district.
