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.
Governor R.N. Ravi took the decision barely 5 hours after his initial letter dismissing Balaji as he was ‘facing serious criminal proceedings in a number of cases of corruption, including taking cash for jobs and money laundering’.
DMK said the governor's order dismissing Balaji from the Cabinet was placed under abeyance by the Raj Bhavan within hours, following the home ministry's intervention.
The Raj Bhavan said Balaji 'is facing serious criminal proceedings' in several corruption cases & the governor has dismissed him from Council of Ministers with immediate effect.
