Some PoliTea
So, here is some tea that I have heard from my political circle and some of you might already be aware but still.
1.It is heavily rumoured that Minister Rajeev who is the Environment Minister has earned over 40-50 crs in these 3 months alone. His Periappa is a well known road contractor and both of them are involving themselves in rampant corruption.
2.Mr Tamilan Parthiban, the Transport Minister has started to charge 2 lakh per vehicle permit. So if a Travels company is launching a new Bus,they have to pay 2 lakh as commision. He has reduced it from 3 (Charged by previous DMK government) to 2 lakhs though.
3.Minister Vijay Balaji has also earned lots of amount by collaborating with Veerapandi MLA Mr.Panivel.
4.Last Wednesday MK Stalin,the DMK Chief blasted the MLAs as he feels all of them are going soft in the assembly. He was especially harsh on Mr.Vasantham Karthikeyan asking him why the heck would he say he got the seat because of Aadhav Arjuna. He was also harsh on senior Ex ministers.
5.There are strong rumours Mr. Senthil Balaji will join ADMK or BJP. Some sources also tell that this is a false rumour spread by TVK to create further instability to him. But it is true that he is not being his usual self and has gone silent.
- Senior Ministers from ADMK like Kadambur Raju who joined TVK are totally unhappy it seems and they are advising their ADMK friends not to jump ship now. They feel they are not being given due importance by TVK either locally or by the high command.
7.Dhanush and Annamalai had a meeting last week it seems in his Poes garden house. What was discussed though is not known.
8.Finally the last one but the best Tea. TVK are apparently threatening business owners to reveal the amount they paid for DMK as bribe during the previous regime publically. That is why we are seeing some businessmen giving open statements to the press declaring that DMK Charged them money.
In a recent meeting,one Minister asked the companies who all paid money to DMK government and he said they will blacklist them all who paid. If they want their blacklist to be removed, they need to reveal publically it seems. This has irked companies a lot who feel that TVK is using them for its political gain. Some industry insiders have already started to mutter paying bribe is far better.
