Tamil Nadu Budget Session: Udhayanidhi Stalin Challenges CM Vijay Over ‘Corruption Files’

Tamil Nadu Budget Session witnessed a heated political exchange after Leader of Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin challenged Chief Minister Vijay to immediately make public the alleged corruption files linked to the previous DMK government.

Speaking during the Assembly debate, Udhayanidhi questioned the Chief Minister over his earlier statement that corruption-related files from the previous DMK regime would be released “at an appropriate time”.

Udhayanidhi Stalin Challenges CM Vijay

During the Tamil Nadu Budget Session, Udhayanidhi Stalin urged Chief Minister Vijay to release the alleged corruption documents without delay if the government had evidence of wrongdoing.

Taking a direct swipe at the Chief Minister, the Leader of Opposition said, “Don't speak dialogues in the Assembly.”

Udhayanidhi further questioned why the government was waiting to make the alleged documents public.

‘Release the Files Immediately’

Responding to Vijay's earlier remarks about releasing corruption files from the previous DMK regime, Udhayanidhi said the government should take immediate action if it possessed substantial evidence.

He questioned the Chief Minister's decision to wait for what he described as an “appropriate time” and asked why the files were not being released immediately.

Udhayanidhi also made a sarcastic reference to astrology while questioning the delay, asking whether the Chief Minister was waiting for his astrologer to decide the date for releasing the documents.

CM Vijay Does Not Directly Respond

Chief Minister Vijay did not directly respond to Udhayanidhi Stalin's challenge during the Assembly exchange.

The issue, however, continued to draw attention inside the House, with members from the ruling side and the Opposition engaging in a heated verbal exchange.

School Education Minister Intervenes

Tamil Nadu School Education Minister subsequently intervened in the discussion.

The minister maintained that the Chief Minister would make the alleged corruption files public at an appropriate time.

The response did not end the political confrontation, with arguments continuing between members of the DMK and TVK.

Heated Arguments Disrupt Assembly Proceedings
The exchange between the two sides eventually led to heated arguments inside the Tamil Nadu Assembly.

DMK and TVK MLAs engaged in sloganeering as tensions escalated during the Tamil Nadu Budget Session.

The disruption briefly affected proceedings in the House before the situation was brought under control and Assembly proceedings resumed.

Political Battle Over Alleged Corruption

The dispute reflects the growing political confrontation between the DMK and TVK over allegations concerning the previous state government.

The issue of alleged corruption files has become a point of political debate after Chief Minister Vijay indicated that documents related to the previous DMK regime would be released at an appropriate time.

Udhayanidhi Stalin's latest challenge puts pressure on the government to clarify what evidence it has and when the alleged documents will be made public.

It is important to note that the allegations remain political claims unless established through official investigations or legal proceedings.
