In a tweet, Tamil Nadu BJP chief Annamalai reminds CM how he had sought Balaji's dismissal over corruption charges 5 yrs ago when he was in Opposition.
Tamil Nadu BJP, which is AIADMK’s ally, has backed state chief Annamalai, who is now set to embark on a padayatra from Tamil Nadu’s Rameswaram on 9 July.
Despite earlier reports of Annamalai saying he'll step down if BJP continues to be in alliance with AIADMK, he said Sunday he'll continue to be at helm of things even with the tie-up.
Tamil Nadu finance minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan had dismissed first audio clip released by Annamalai as 'fabricated'. A DMK leader calls it 'diversionary tactic'.
Searches conducted at house of DMK MLA MK Mohan, 'confidant' of TN CM Stalin & the auditor of Stalin's son-in-law, V Sabareesan, said IT officials, in relation to 'tax evasion' by G Square Realtors.
In unverified audio clip shared by BJP functionaries, Tamil Nadu finance minister purportedly says that money made by CM Stalin's son & son-in-law has become 'a problem'.
While BJP top leadership is in favour of alliance, it's letting state chief K Annamalai needle ally, say leaders. AIADMK says it's focussing on relationship with BJP high command.
Assets worth Rs 1.34 lakh crore owned by 13 DMK leaders including Tamil Nadu CM, his son, son-in-law & sister, claims BJP leader. Ruling party calls it a 'joke'.
Political commentators feel that while padayatras can increase popularity of leaders helming them, they are outdated as a means to woo the masses, especially the present generation.
Annamalai says 'nobody is trying to vilify Tipu Sultan' in context of Karnataka, AIADMK 'brings lot to table' & BJP 'more relevant' in Tamil Nadu than any other party.

Once acquired by IAF, the medium transport aircraft (MTA) will replace both AN-32s and IL-76s, it is learnt. The idea behind the revamp is to meet modern operational needs.
It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
