In a stern attack on BJP led Centre government, DMK on Wednesday al🎉leged the former of misusing central agencies to target rival political party leaders♊.
DMK’s reaction comes after Tamil Nadu minister Senth꧂il Balaji's health deteriorated following his arrest.
Balaji is being treated at a Chennai hospital.
Tamil Na﷽du Chief Minister MK Stalin, after visiting the ailing minister, slammed the BJP, saying it was resorting to "politics of intimation."
"DMK will not be cowe💦d down by BJP's intimidation. People are watching suc𓄧h oppression and will give a befitting reply in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls," Stalin said.
State minister P K Sekar Babu claimed there were "symptoms"൩ that Balaji was "tortured".
Senthil Balaji was arrested late last night after day-long raids and hour൲s of questioning. The ED on Tuesday raided Balaji's residence, his offi🏅ce at the Tamil Nadu Secretariat.
꧃S🐻enthil broke down while being taken to the hospital for a medical checkup by ED. Visuals showed Balaji feeling uneasy and crying in the car.
Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Anna🐬malai said the ED action was a culmination of a five-year probe into the cash for jobs scam.
He sꦆaid the allegations against Balaji dated back to when he was a minister during the Jayalalithaa-led AIADMK rܫegime.
