Stalin’s Hypocrisy Exposed: Annamalai Shares Video of Stalin’s Remarks on Senthil Balaji’s ‘Corruption’ In a display of political mudslinging, the arrest of Tamil Nadu minister Senthil Balaji has become a contentious issue, with opposition parties accusing the BJP of using investigative agencies for political gains. Amidst the uproar, Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai took to social media to share an old video of Chief Minister MK Stalin himself making remarks.
Senthil Balaji’s alleged corruption during his tenure as the transport minister in the AIADMK government. Annamalai questioned whether Stalin would refute his own past statements, urging him not to play the victim card. The political drama unfolded as Stalin expressed gratitude to opposition leaders who protested against the Enforcement Directorate’s actions targeting Senthil Balaji. Annamalai’s video post aimed to remind MK Stalin of his previous remarks about Senthil Balaji’s alleged involvement in corrupt practices while he was a member of the AIADMK.
Explosive Accusation: Stalin’s ‘Corruption’ Claim against Senthil Balaji Ignites Annamalai’s Fiery Video Response
This move ignited a Twitter war between Senthil and Annamalai in the recent past, triggered by Senthil’s questioning of Annamalai’s ownership of a limited edition Rafale watch worth ₹5 lakh. In the old video shared by Annamalai, Stalin can be heard accusing Senthil Balaji of corruption and asserting his influence within the cabinet, even during the reshuffling of ministries. Stalin alleges that Senthil Balaji and his brother have been controlling the district through looting.
The BJP seized the opportunity to highlight Stalin’s apparent U-turn on the issue of corruption and the cash-for-job scam. Shehzad Poonawalla, a national spokesperson for the BJP, referred to the video and stated that when Senthil Balaji was not associated with the DMK, Stalin himself had raised concerns about the jobs scam.
Poonawalla drew a parallel between the opposition parties’ alleged demand for cash in exchange for jobs and Netaji’s famous slogan, “You give me blood, and I will give you freedom.” Poonawalla’s tweet criticized Stalin’s inconsistent stance on corruption, citing the infamous 2G and 3G corruption scandals. The arrest of Senthil Balaji and the subsequent events surrounding his hospitalization in the middle of the night brought opposition leaders together, setting the stage for a mega opposition meet scheduled in Patna on June 23.
The gathering will be attended by prominent figures such as Rahul Gandhi, Mamata Banerjee, and MK Stalin. NCP working president Supriya Sule expressed no surprise at the arrest, citing records that indicate a significant number of opposition leaders have been arrested in recent months.
The unfolding political drama surrounding Senthil Balaji’s arrest and the subsequent accusations of corruption has exposed the deep-seated animosity and political rivalries in Tamil Nadu. As the opposition gears up for a united front against the ruling party, the exchange of allegations and counter-allegations only serves to intensify the already charged atmosphere.
