Nilgiris: In a general meeting conducted by the DMK in Ooty where welfare schemes were distributed ahead of the Pongal festival, the former Union Minister, A Raja addressed the gathering. He revealed that according to a report released by the Health Department, Tamil Nadu is ranked fourth in swine flu casualties.
A Raja also alleged that the Chief Minister, Edappadi Palanisamy was having the Public Welfare Department and the Highway Department under his control since contracts are given only to his relatives for which he gets ‘commission’ in return.
"The Health Minister, C Vijay Baskaran is connected in the gutka scam, the Transport Minister, M R Vijaya Baskar is connected to a Rs.300 crore scam in the Transport Department and ‘commission’ charges have been levelled against Minister Velumani.
Alongside, by shooting people who protested against the Sterlite plant in Tuticorin, the Government has flouted laws. Thus, the party which has only 103 legislative members is only functioning with the aid of Modi," alleged A Raja.
