PMK Chief Anbumani Ramadoss Challenges CM Stalin: Calls For CBI Probe Into TNEB Corruption, Supports JPC Inquiry Into Adani Allegations

Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) president Anbumani Ramadoss has declared the party’s willingness to support a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) investigation into the corruption allegations against the Adani Group. Simultaneously, he has challenged Chief Minister MK Stalin whether he is ready to initiate a CBI probe into the corruption allegations involving the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB).

During an Assembly session, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Stalin questioned whether the BJP and PMK, who have been critical of the DMK, would support a JPC probe into the Adani allegations in Parliament. Responding to this question, Anbumani stated that the PMK is fully prepared to back such an inquiry. He emphasized that during a prior press conference, he had already called for an investigation into the corruption charges against Adani.

Anbumani also dismissed the claim that there was a direct agreement between the Adani Group and TNEB, accusing CM Stalin of being misinformed. He highlighted that the PMK has demanded clarity from the Tamil Nadu government regarding a case filed in a U.S. court, which allegedly accused the Adani Group of bribing the TNEB to purchase electricity through the Solar Power Corporation of India.

“If there is no wrongdoing, there should be no fear of investigation,” Anbumani remarked. He questioned why the state government and CM Stalin have avoided addressing the issue and resisted calls for a probe.

The PMK reiterated its support for a JPC investigation into the Adani corruption allegations. Simultaneously, Anbumani urged CM Stalin to announce whether he is willing to order a CBI or Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe, under Supreme Court supervision, into the bribery allegations involving the Adani Group and TNEB.
