He said, 'The ruling party has been spreading false information and has frozen 110 crores by falsely accusing me of covering it up.' The ex-minister stated that nothing was recovered from his house and his relatives during the income tax raids. He further said that the public is ready to ‘boycott’ the DMK,stating that none are now able to build houses as a bribe of Rs 2,000 is being received for taking a load of sand.

He alleged that DMK has been offering money and gifts to the public with police support and termed them ‘scared’. 'With the help of the police, they are carrying out democratic assassinations by handing out payments and gifts at multiple locations in and around the city.'
