Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai on Friday, July 14, 2023 said his fight for corruption-free, clean governance in Tamil Nadu was a fight between people like him belonging to the “first generation” and the “third generation” of “dynasts” in the ruling DMK.
Addressing journalists after appearing before the XVII Metropolitan Magistrate Court in Saidapet, Chennai, in connection with a defamation case filed against him by DMK MP and former Union Minister T.R. Baalu, he appealed to all the first generation graduates and those struggling to come up in their lives to join, what he called, the “long fight against corruption”.
Mr. Baalu had filed the case after Mr. Annamalai made corruption allegations against the former during an event in April to release what the BJP termed the ‘DMK Files’, containing a series of corruption allegations against a few senior DMK leaders.
