DMK leader M.K. Stalin alleged a deep-rooted administrative conspiracy behind the multi-crore coal import scandal that plagued the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation between 2012 and 2016. Naming key figures, Stalin identified former electricity board chairman K. Gnanadesikan and former electricity minister Natham R. Viswanathan as central actors responsible for initial procurement irregularities. He asserted that incumbent electricity minister P. Thangamani had systematically covered up these past administrative violations while facilitating further illegal procurement practices within the state energy portfolio.

Stalin highlighted that the state exchequer suffered enormous recurring financial losses through inflated procurement contracts and substandard thermal coal shipments, placing an intolerable financial strain on power distribution utilities. Rather than conducting an independent internal investigation or recovering squandered public funds, the administrative machinery engaged in coordinated efforts to shield culpable political appointees and executive heads from statutory accountability.

Stalin asserted that the DMK would continue to champion transparency, demanding thorough institutional probes into public sector procurement. He affirmed that public office requires uncompromising rectitude and vowed that those guilty of compromising energy sector integrity would eventually face stringent legal consequences under the law.
