Vijay government under fire after Tamil Nadu minister's ‘bribery’ comment sparks row
Tamil Nadu's finance minister claimed that during the DMK regime he had to pay a huge sum to Chennai's school education department for approvals.
Tamil Nadu finance minister N Marie Wilson recently made controversial "bribery" remarks, sparking a political controversy between his ruling DMK party and opposing parties DMK and BJP. The BJP chief demanded the government launch an inquiry into Wilson's statement and remove him from the cabinet until the probe is finished. Wilson stated in the state assembly on Monday that he had to pay a large amount to the school education department for approvals during the DMK regime.
He is ready to face an inquiry if necessary. State health minister KG Arunraj defended Wilson, calling him a "whistleblower," while DMK leader Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi labeled the allegation as baseless and demanded action against Wilson.
