Tamil Nadu MLA alleges Rs 30 crore bribe attempt to destabilize TVK government
Mustafa, a legislator from the ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party, has alleged that he was offered Rs 30 crore to vote against Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay during a proposed no-confidence motion in the Assembly.
Speaking at Madurai airport, Mustafa claimed the offer consisted of Rs 15 crore in advance and an additional Rs 15 crore following the vote. He alleged that the DMK and AIADMK opposition parties are secretly collaborating to destabilize the TVK government through financial inducements and horse-trading.
The MLA stated that a senior AIADMK functionary from Madurai contacted him regarding the deal and that he has informed TVK leadership. Mustafa asserted that TVK legislators remain loyal to Vijay and promised to reveal the identities of those involved in the alleged operation within two days.
