CPI(M) Urges TVK to Act on Corruption Evidence Against DMK
CPI(M) leader P Shanmugam challenged the ruling TVK party to act on alleged corruption evidence against the DMK instead of questioning the Left parties' integrity. He highlighted public backlash against TVK candidates who defected from AIADMK and urged the government to take legal action if proof exists. The dispute follows TVK's accusations of corruption during the previous DMK regime and centers on political ethics amid by-elections in Madurantakam and Dharapuram.
