‘Have audios’: Annamalai’s big charge against CM Vijay’s govt, claims ministers demand 2-4% kickbacks
Annamalai said Vijay has a strong anti-corruption position, but alleged that some members of his Cabinet had now begun seeking a percentage from contracts.
Former BJP state chief K Annamalai has accused Tamil Nadu CM Vijay's government of accepting kickbacks from contractors handling government tenders. At an environmental awareness event in Chennai, Annamalai alleged that some ministers were demanding 2-4% of the contract value from contractors. Annamalai claimed to have audio recordings supporting his allegations and urged Vijay to take action before the issue escalates.
Annamalai pointed out that while Vijay had maintained a strong anti-corruption stance, some members of his Cabinet were now seeking kickbacks. The allegations challenge Vijay's image as a strong anti-corruption leader, as he repeatedly emphasized the importance of eradicating corruption during his Independence Day speech.
