BJP Tamil Nadu president K Annamalai, former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan and many state leaders were detained on Monday by the police ahead of the party's protest against the alleged irregularities in state-run liquor retailer TASMAC.
The BJP had announced a picketing protest of the TASMAC headquarters in the city over the alleged Rs 1,000 crore irregularities, as claimed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) recently.
Annamalai Slams CM Stalin
Annamalai hits out at CM Stalin and said, it was his 'guess' that the DMK leader was 'afraid' of something and therefore was 'strangulating' BJP's voice.
"I charge that their symbol drama, budget drama was all aimed at diverting attention from ED raids. This Rs 1000 crore is tip of the iceberg...this protest will not only shake up TN politics but will pave the way for ushering in good politics. My guess is this (scam) will be worth Rs 40,000 crore. But I am in a responsible position, so I am quoting the Rs 1,000 crore mentioned by the ED," he said as quoted by Press Trust of India.
He said when ED files its "final report," Stalin might also be on the radar.
