Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) founder and Tamil Nadu chief minister C Joseph Vijay is scheduled to hold a key meeting with party legislators on Wednesday over a host of issues, as his government marks six months in office, people aware of the details said.
The meeting will be held at a luxury hotel in Mahabalipuram in Chengalpattu district, and will be attended by TVK general secretary and minister N Anand, deputy general secretaries and ministers Aadhav Arjuna, CTR Nirmal Kumar and A Rajmohan among others, the people cited above added.
AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami echoed similar sentiments, alleging a ‘sickle’ culture was prevailing in the state. Congress MP Karti P Chidambaram, whose party is an ally of TVK, alleged murders, particularly planned revenge killings, were taking place and termed the cases ‘alarming’ and ‘worrisome’. “Under the chief minister’s rule, if such an allegation has been levelled against any party member, a detailed investigation will be taken up.
Citing news reports that over 10 crimes took place in the state on November 8 alone, the DMK alleged Tamil Nadu was facing the worst period under the TVK rule.
TVK deputy general secretary and minister for school education A Rajmohan earlier said that all the charges against the party leaders would be investigated and action would be taken. The people cited above said the TVK is planning to conduct an internal probe against Ravishankar and Vignesh. Action will be taken against anyone without any bias,” he told reporters on Tuesday.
