Today, a delegation of BJP Tamil Nadu leaders will meet with Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi to request an independent forensic audit of the State Finance Minister’s leaked audio tape.
An audio clip alleged to be that of Tamil Nadu Finance Minister PTR Palanivel Thiagarajan has surfaced on social media in which he accuses members of MK Stalin’s family of making more money in one year than they’ve made during their life time.
“Both Udhay and Sabari have realised, they have made more money in one year than they [unclear] entire lives and now it’s getting to be a problem, how to handle it, how to not get caught, how to get payments here.. [unclear] Its all being made gradually? 10 to 20 crores.. assuming we will say 5000 crores.. [unclear]. How can you [unclear] 5000 crores without paying any [unclear]”, the audio clip supposedly of PTR says.
After four days of silence, Tamil Nadu Finance Minister PTR Palanivel Thiagarajan has responded to the audio clip controversy that shocked the ruling DMK due to its scandalous content. PTR described his alleged audio clip as “Malicious”, “Fabricated”, and “Deepfake”.
Citing two alleged ‘technical analysis’ of the clip, PTR said that the audio clip was not authentic. However, BJP President K. Annamalai said that only “DMK IT Wing dimwits” would believe whatever has been said by the DMK Minister.
In light of this, a delegation of BJP Tamil Nadu leaders is scheduled to meet with Governor RN Ravi today (April 23rd) to request an independent forensic audit of the alleged audio clip of Tamil Nadu Finance Minister PTR Palanivel Thiyagarajan.
In a press release, Tamil Nadu BJP President Annamalai said, “Today, a delegation of leaders from BJP Tamil Nadu will be meeting the Honourable Governor of Tamil Nadu, Thiru RN Ravi avl seeking an independent forensic audit on the audio file of Tamil Nadu State Finance Minister Thiru PTR Palanivel Thiyagarajan exposing the ill-gotten money amounting to 30,000 Crore through corrupt means by DMK leader & Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Thiru MK Stalin’s son Thiru Udhayanidhi Stalin & Son-in-law Thiru Sabareesan.”
According to the press release, “Since the State Finance Minister Thiru PTR Palanivel Thiyagarajan is resting on an argument that this audio is fabricated, we challenge him to produce an audio clip with similar content but instead in my voice. We shall submit both audio samples to a Court monitored investigation and let the investigating agency ascertain the genuine nature of both audio clips. I will submit my voice samples, and we expect the State Finance Minister will also do the same. So, the State Finance Minister should understand that this is too big a case to be brushed under the carpet with weak statements posted as defences.”
Annamalai went on to say that he humbly requests that the State Finance Minister not underestimate the intelligence of the Tamil Nadu people, and that not everyone will believe the fairy tales that he and his partymen float.
