Tamil Nadu BJP President K Annamalai has accused the ruling DMK government in the state of employing innovative methods of corruption to finance their projects. He stated that the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) is coercing industries, particularly in Chennai and the Western Kongu Region, to contribute funds for the F4 racing event, a project tied to Udhayanidhi Stalin, the son of the Chief Minister and the Minister of Youth Welfare and Sports Development.
Annamalai asserted that businesses are being extorted to make contributions ranging from ₹25,000 to ₹1,00,00,000 to “Racing Promotions Private Limited,” a company led by Akhilesh Reddy, a close associate of DMK scion Udhayanidhi Stalin. Hence, he demanded a full disclosure regarding the company’s financial activities and warned the government not to compel citizens to support such projects.
Annamalai via his official X account stated that, “DMK has constantly reinvented itself in innovating new methods of corruption, laying a path for its friends in the I.N.D.I. Alliance to follow. In the past, they gave away medical admission merit lists in exchange for Party donations, and now they have gone to an all-new level in mobilizing money. The Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) has been tasked with one job in the past few months. They have been compelling industries, mostly from Chennai & Western Kongu Region of TN, to cough up money for the F4 racing event or face trouble. The F4 racing event is Gopalapuram Scion Thiru @Udhaystalin’s dream project, postponed last year and scheduled to take place next month in Chennai.”
“The State Government of Tamil Nadu had already spent ₹40 crore to realise his dream. Now, Small business owners, Entrepreneurs and Industrialists in Tamil Nadu are compelled to make Thiru @Udhaystalin’s dreams a reality. The TNPCB officials have rate cards ranging from ₹25,000 to ₹1,00,00,000 and the contributions are to be made to a company named “Racing Promotions Private Limited”. Any concern not paying, is certain to face visits by TN pollution control board officials and will face their music. Incidentally, Thiru Akhilesh Reddy, a close friend of the Gopalapuram Scion, is the Chairman & Managing Director of “Racing Promotions Private Limited”. He added.
“On behalf of @BJP4TamilNadu, we demand full disclosure of the statements of this company to be published in the public domain and let the people of Tamil Nadu see how this Government fleeces people’s hard-earned money. We wish to remind Thiru@Udhaystalin that the people of TN cannot be forced to fund his pet projects.” He further added.
