what is the matter?

Tamil Nadu government minister K Ponmudi has been accused of violating mining license conditions when he was the mining minister between 2007 and 2011. Due to this, the government exchequer suffered a loss of about 28 crores. In this case, the ED has now taken action against Ponmudi and his MP son Sigamani.

 

K Ponmudi is the Minister of Higher Education in the Government of Tamil Nadu. As per media reports, the ED raided nine locations in K Ponmudi. Apart from K Ponmudi, the premises of his relatives and friends were also raided. The 72-year-old minister is the MLA from Tirukkoyilur seat in Villupuram district and his son Sigamani is the MP from Kallakuruchi seat. Let us tell you that the state police had lodged a complaint of corruption against K Ponmudi. The minister had approached the Madras High Court against this but the Madras High Court refused to stay the action. The minister is alleged to have obtained mining licenses for his son and other family members. Along with this, the licensees were also allowed to do mining over the prescribed limit. The DMK, on the other hand, termed the ED's action as politically motivated and said that they are not afraid of it.

 

Stalin told the drama

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK Chief MK Stalin termed the ED's action against his government's minister as a drama. He said that 'recently two cases against Ponmudi were dismissed. He will also face this matter legally. This raid against the opposition meeting is a strategy of distribution. The Governor is already doing election propaganda and now the ED is also doing the same. It's making things easier for us. This is a drama being done by them (BJP).
