Assembly Debate Turns Heated Over Alleged Misuse of Grants

The debate in the Tamil Nadu Assembly grew intense when DMK legislators demanded proof of corruption claims against former ministers. MLA I. Periyasamy highlighted multiple issues in the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj portfolio, prompting Minister N. Anand to defend the incumbent government's achievements.

Opposition members pressed the chief minister for the concrete documents that allegedly link the three departments to financial irregularities. In response, Vijay clarified that the Finance Minister had previously mentioned the existence of such files, and that they are now under his examination.

Vijay assured the house that any disclosure would be handled with care, emphasizing that the government will not release information prematurely. He also signaled that the timing of any announcement will be aligned with the broader goal of maintaining public confidence.
