Chennai: Minister for Public Works (Buildings, Highways and Minor Ports) Aadhav Arjuna on Tuesday alleged that the DMK government had issued tenders for Rs. 2,000 crore only for patch-up work and announced that his department would come out with a white paper on the subject.
Speaking at the inauguration of the coaching camp for Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) legislators at Mamallapuram, he said there is no vendetta in the arrest of former minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi. The former ministers who had indulged in large-scale corruption and action is being taken based on evidence.
The DMK government had issued tenders for patch-up of roads at a price of Rs. 2,000 crore, and a white paper would be released on the subject. The TVK government would bring out the corrupt activities in each department and come out with white papers.
Anbil Mahesh was defeated in the Assembly elections, and the action against him is not a political vendetta. The DMK government too registered corruption cases against previous rulers. The TVK would not touch people’s money and would not leave those who touched people’s money, he said.
Earlier, addressing the media at the airport, minister Vanniyarasu said the details about the missing girl at Gingee would come out within a few days. The minister said he had spoken to the district administration and police officials on the subject. He further said it is not proper to say that such incidents are happening throughout Tamil Nadu based on one such incident in Gingee.
