Criticises Stalin for making allegations without knowing facts
Electricity Minister P. Thangamani said three officials of the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco) have been suspended for their corrupt practices in the purchase of thermal power. Tangedco also filed a police complaint.
At a hurriedly convened press conference on Thursday to counter the allegations of corruption in wind energy, Mr. Thangamani told mediapersons that Tangedco found that the malpractice had taken place in the Tuticorin thermal power plants and not in wind energy sector. It involved two private companies, one operating a thermal power plant and the other having a tie-up to purchase power from the generating company in some other location. The thermal power company without supplying power had raised the bill with the complicity of officials.
The Opposition leader M.K. Stalin, without knowing the truth, alleged that Tangedco had paid money without purchasing power from wind generators. He said Mr. Stalin failed to comprehend the issue. Mr. Stalin had raked up the issue of corruption in purchase of coal but backtracked.
He warned Mr. Stalin that if he continued to make wild allegations against the AIADMK government they may be forced to go to court.
