Tamil Nadu BJP president calls for CAG audit of HR and CE department, challenges allocation claims in Union Budget.
The Tamil Nadu government should submit accounts details of the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment (HR and CE) department for CAG audit, said K. Annamalai, Tamil Nadu president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Coimbatore city on Friday.
Speaking to the media on the sidelines of “Blossom,” the Rotary district conference, he said that when the BJP would come to power in the State, it would conduct a detailed audit of the department’s accounts.
On allegations that Tamil Nadu did not get any allocation in the Union Budget, Mr. Annamalai said he was ready for a debate on this issue and Chief Minister M.K. Stalin should release a white paper on the funds allocated to Tamil Nadu by the UPA government and the funds received under the NDA government.
Further, Ministers “imported” from the AIADMK were doing “dubbing” for the Chief Minister, he said. Mr. Annamalai also alleged that women in the State were not safe.
