Part-time politician Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party is once again embroiled in controversy following allegations from party executives. They claim that the high command is soliciting monetary payments from individuals seeking various positions within the party, with State General Secretary Anand reportedly turning a blind eye to the complaints.
Speaking to reporters in Villupuram, Seeman Kumaresan, a TVK executive claimed that Kushi Mohan, the South Villupuram District Secretary, is demanding sums ranging from ₹3 to ₹15 lakh for city and district positions. The executives further accused the party of offering positions to individuals with no prior affiliation to TVK or fan club. They also alleged that the amount solicited with the full awareness of Anand, and accused him of preventing leader Vijay from being informed about the issue.
TVK executive Kumaresan stated, “Villupuram District Secretary Mohan is demanding money for all positions. He asked me ₹4 lakh for the post of district executive member. Here’s the proof. I first met Thalapathy in 1995 during the filming of Vishnu. I’m a ardent fan of Thalapathy and have been involved since the days of Vijay Makkal Iyakkam. Similar to me, he has asked everyone for money in exchange for posts. When I questioned him about why he’s demanding money like this, he said ‘The leadership demands it.’ When I asked, ‘Who is the leadership, Vijay?’ he replied, ‘No’.”
Kumaresan then showed evidence of a demand draft cheque from a person named Ilayaraja, explaining that he was interviewed and selected for the post of city secretary. However, Kushi Mohan, the South Villupuram District Secretary, denied him the position and gave it to another person named Mubarq, who had come from the DMK. Kumaresan also mentioned another individual who had requested the post of East District Secretary and, despite donating a sewing machine for welfare assistance on the 19th, was also asked for an additional ₹50,000 by Kushi Mohan.
During the press conference, Kumaresan raised a question about who exactly is demanding the money. When he was told it was the party leadership, he asked if Vijay was the one requesting the money, to which the answer was no. He then questioned, “If not Vijay, then who exactly is this leadership?”
