As Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin goes after some former All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) Ministers on corruption charges, he is facing uncomfortable questions on inaction against his cabinet colleague V. Senthilbalaji.
Last week, the Chennai Central Crime Branch police informed the Madras High Court that it had collected sufficient evidence to prove Mr. Senthilbalaji’s involvement in a case of “cash for jobs” in the Metropolitan Transport Corporation, which was registered in 2017.
The alleged corruption took place when he was the Transport Minister between 2011 and 2015 in the Jayalalithaa Cabinet. Investigators said they had examined 21 witnesses in one of the three cases booked on similar charges and collected materials indicating the Minister’s culpability.
