Tamil Nadu CM Vijay's Office Shift Sparks Tender Process Controversy
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay plans to shift his office from Fort St. George to Namakkal Kavignar Maaligai to accommodate staff and visiting dignitaries. The move aims to provide more workspace and better facilities. However, opposition parties, including DMK and BJP, have raised concerns over alleged irregularities in the Rs 5.5 crore tender process, citing delayed online publication and construction starting before tendering. Government officials deny these claims, emphasizing the shift is temporary and for administrative efficiency.
