In Tamil Nadu Audio Row, State BJP Chief Tweets Second Clip
NDTV
In the audio clip tweeted by K Annamalai, the speaker, purportedly Tamil Nadu finance minister PTR Palanivel Thiaga Rajan, is heard saying, "The CM's son and son-in-law take away a bulk of the spoils".
Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai has released a second audio clip, where his party claims state finance minister PTR Palanivel Thiaga Rajan is heard denigrating the ruling DMK and accusing Chief Minister MK Stalin's family of corruption. In the audio clip – which NDTV cannot independently verify -- the speaker is heard saying, "The CM's son and son-in-law take away a bulk of the spoils".
In what appears to be a reference to his quitting a party position after becoming minister, the speaker is also heard praising the BJP's "one man one post" rule and slams DMK for "lack of system".
In his tweet, Mr Annamalai has thanked "PTR" for "drawing a proper distinction between DMK and BJP".
A similar audio had surfaced recently, in which the speaker -- purportedly PTR -- is heard saying, "Udhayanidhi (Chief Minister M K Stalin's son) and Sabareesan have accumulated 30,000 crore".
