Have proof of corruption in erstwhile DMK government, will reveal it when necessary: CM Vijay

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay stated on August 19, 2026 that he possesses proof of corruption within the former DMK government and will disclose it as deemed appropriate. In response to requests from DMK MLAs and the School Education Minister Rajmohan for evidence of the alleged corruption, Vijay noted that he had not initially intended to discuss the matter.

He clarified that when demanded, one week prior, the Finance Minister had mentioned that files reviewing three departments were on his desk. Vijay emphasized that all claims would be substantiated by evidence and warned against being compelled to reveal the information. He expressed confidence in his ability to address the public in the right manner and acknowledged the support of the electorate.

Vijay concluded by stating that while he was prepared to speak, the focus should be on positive developments during the upcoming bye-elections to seven seats.
