"DMK is abode of corruption...": Annamalai hits out at Stalin
"CAG report itself states that out of the 14-lane highway, 8 lanes have been converted into flyovers and 6 lanes have been converted into expressways," he said.

CHENNAI: BJP state president K Annamalai on Sunday accused that the DMK is the abode of corruption and said that Chief Minister MK Stalin has forgotten that public will laugh at them for accusing other parties of corruption.
Reacting to the remarks made by CM Stalin, Annamalai said that the CM has blatantly lied that seven types of corruption in the Union government have been exposed by the CAG report and the question arises whether Stalin has ever read the CAG report.
“In the CAG report, apart from the fact that the expenditure on the construction of the highway has increased, CM Stalin should explain where the words such as corruption, malpractice, fraud or allotment of contract to certain persons for the Dwarka Expressway appear as mentioned by Stalin. CAG in its report has mentioned that the reason for the increase in the cost of constructing the Dwarka Expressway is due to the change in the design plans of the project. CAG report itself states that out of the 14-lane highway, 8 lanes have been converted into flyovers and 6 lanes have been converted into expressways,” added Annamalai.
Slamming DMK Ministers, he said that they are involved in smuggling of state’s mineral resources and sending them to Kerala. “What action has the Chief Minister taken so far against those who are stealing mineral resources without helping the development work of the state? Even saying malpractice in Ayushman Bharat scheme is like spitting at the sky. He (Stalin) has read the slip without even knowing that if the accounts of many people are linked with the same number, the state government is also responsible for correcting it. The Centre has ensured a new technology to prevent the recurrence of technical errors like linking of multiple accounts with the same number. However, it is the responsibility of the states to correct the fake accounts that have already been linked. After failing to do that, Stalin has spoken without understanding,” added Annamalai.
Recalling the 2G scam, the saffron party leader said that the people of the country will not forget the CAG report on the 2G scam and the role of a DMK in it.
“The CAG report on the 2G scam has all the words corruption, malpractice, fraud and loss to the government. DMK is the symbol of corruption. People will never accept the vain blaming of the Narendra Modi-led NDA government,” Annamalai said.
