The minister described the charges of a TV channel as baseless. “I have not misused my position or done anything wrong... it is a baseless allegation and without any evidence,” he told reporters.
According to reports, the Municipal Administration Minister is contemplating to take legal action against the TV channel, which carried a report claiming corruption in awarding of contracts.
Moreover, to a query on the release of seven convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, he said a decision on it has to be taken by Chief Minister Edappdai K Palaniswami.
