#RKNagar இல் முறைகேட்டில் ஈடுபட்ட முதல்வர் மற்றும் அமைச்சர்கள் மீது நடவடிக்கைக் கோரி கண்டனப் பொதுக்கூட்டம் https://t.co/U5SguTvljB

DMK working president M.K. Stalin addressed a massive public condemnation rally in Chennai on April 12, 2017, demanding swift criminal prosecution against Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami and cabinet ministers involved in widespread corruption during the R.K. Nagar by-election. Stalin outlined how the ruling dispensation had subverted electoral democracy through systematic cash distribution networks uncovered during tax department raids. He stated that the unprecedented cancellation of the by-election proved the extent of official misconduct.

Stalin asserted that the ministers named in seized accounting ledgers had desecrated their constitutional oaths by turning the democratic process into a commercial bidding contest. Rather than competing through developmental records and public welfare proposals, the ruling faction had deployed executive departments and unaccounted funds to manipulate vulnerable voters. He emphasized that canceling the poll was only a preliminary step; full accountability required the registration of criminal cases and the immediate disqualification of those responsible.

The opposition leader affirmed that the DMK would not allow the ruling establishment to evade the legal consequences of its actions. Stalin pledged that the party would lead sustained public agitations across the state until independent investigating agencies initiated legal proceedings against every implicated minister.
