Will move court if guv doesn’t act on ‘corrupt govt’ petition: DMK
Chennai: 24.12.2020
DMK president M K Stalin on Wednesday said his party would approach the court if governor Banwarilal Purohit did not act on the petition submitted to him on Tuesday, listing corruption charges against chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami, deputy chief minister O Panneerselvam and six other ministers.
Stalin said the detailed complaint submitted to the governor had proof of irregularities indulged in by the chief minister and his cabinet colleagues. “This is only one part. There is more to come. The governor assured us that he would initiate action after going through the petition. If he does not act, we will definitely approach court,” Stalin said.
Later, addressing a virtual public meeting organized by the party’s Sivaganga district unit, Stalin wondered why the chief minister was not challenging the petition. “Why no one tried to brush aside the corruption charges as mere allegations, why didn’t the chief minister say he is willing to face inquiry,” Stalin asked.
