In his first response to the issue, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK president MK Stalin said minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan has responded to the matter
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin today dismissed as "cheap politics" the PTR audio files, in which the state finance minister is purported to have made some remarks about the assets of the DMK's first family.
In his first response to the issue, Mr Stalin, president of the ruling DMK, said Palanivel Thiaga Rajan (PTR) has already responded to the matter twice.
"He (PTR) himself has given two detailed explanations on this matter. I have time only to do my duty for people. I do not want to talk anything further on this and give publicity to those indulging in cheap politics," Mr Stalin said in his regular "Ungalil Oruvan" question and answer series.
In two audio clips released by state BJP chief K Annamalai, PTR is purported to have made some remarks about Stalin's son Udhayanidhi and son-in-law V Sabareesan, which the finance minister has categorically denied.
