‘Will reveal corruption files… don’t force me': Tamil Nadu CM Vijay warns DMK over claims of irregularities

On Tuesday, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) leader EV Velu accused the Tamil Nadu government of alleged irregularities in a ₹5.54-crore tender issued for relocating the chief minister's office. Velu expressed concern over the tender process not being published on the official website, despite being highlighted in a newspaper. He urged Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay to consider the well-being of Secretariat employees who might be affected by the relocation.

On Wednesday, another clash erupted in the Assembly over alleged discrepancies in road-laying works, with DMK and TVK leaders trading accusations. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay threatened to reveal corruption files from the previous DMK regime, stating, "I will reveal the corruption files from the previous DMK regime at an appropriate time. I have two files on my desk. Don't force me to do it now."
