Tamil Nadu Assembly Debates Corruption Files and MLA Car Allocations Amid Heated Exchanges
In the Tamil Nadu Assembly, Leader of the Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin challenged Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay to promptly examine and disclose alleged corruption files related to the previous DMK government. Vijay had earlier stated he possessed proof but would reveal it when appropriate. The debate included criticism over the allocation of new cars to MLAs, with DMK rejecting the offer citing financial constraints. Assembly proceedings were briefly disrupted amid heated exchanges between DMK and TVK members, while the government affirmed it would take legal action if irregularities were found.
