Virtually kicking off his campaign for the Lok Sabha elections due next year, DMK president and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on August 27 lambasted the BJP government at the Centre and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for calling the DMK “corrupt”.
Speaking at the wedding ceremony of the daughter of the Nagapattinam MP, M. Selvaraj of the Communist Party of India at Pavithramanickam in Tiruvarur district, Mr. Stalin said the Prime Minister had no moral right to speak about corruption as the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report has exposed the “corrupt deeds” of the BJP government at the Centre.
The CAG report has brought to light “corruption” to the tune of several crores of rupees in various schemes including the Bharatmala, Dwarka Expressway, Ayodhya development, HAL aircraft design projects, collection of tolls at highway toll plazas and Ayushman Bharat Scheme, he charged.
