TN CM slams DMK, says author Perumal Murugan exposed graft in buying books during its regime

Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay on Friday alleged corruption during the previous DMK regime in procurement of books for Periyar Knowledge World in Coimbatore and said Professor Perumal Murugan has exposed it and that he should be commended.

Hitting out at the DMK as the "fountainhead of corruption," he alleged that it has come to light it is "always a crowd of graft."

The DMK brass has been claiming that it built Periyar Knowledge World after much scrutiny. The world now mocks it for meticulous graft in procurement, he alleged.

"The DMK has engaged in corruption in a slightly different way, turning Coimbatore Periyar Knowledge World itself into a world of corruption," the ruling TVK founder alleged in a statement.

He alleged that the DMK, which has made a habit of continuously engaging in corruption will never be forgiven by Tamil Nadu's future generations as well.

The previous DMK regime saw countless corruptions including in tenders; he claimed.

"That the DMK is a party which built a very huge world of corruption for themselves is getting exposed one after the other," he alleged.
