‘சத்துணவுத் திட்டத்தில் 2,400 கோடி ரூபாய் ஊழல்’ - ஒரு துறையையும் விட்டு வைக்காமல், துறை வாரியாக ஊழல் செய்யும் எடப்பாடி அரசு! அமைச்சர்களுக்கு...

DMK president M.K. Stalin demanded the immediate arrest of ministers and officials implicated in a reported 2,400 crore corruption scandal within Tamil Nadu's nutritious meal program. Stalin highlighted findings from recent Income Tax Department searches that reportedly uncovered extensive documentation of bribes paid to state ministers alongside confidential government files. He accused the Edappadi Palaniswami administration of running an institutionalized kickback racket across every public department without sparing welfare initiatives intended for vulnerable children.

Stalin expressed deep dismay that funds allocated to provide nutritious food to school students were siphoned off through inflated procurement contracts and systematic kickbacks. The noon meal scheme represents a historic welfare intervention designed to improve child health and enhance school attendance among underprivileged families. Looting public resources meant for school feeding demonstrates moral and administrative bankruptcy within the ruling establishment.

Stalin urged law enforcement agencies to act impartially rather than shielding corrupt political figures. He called for registering criminal cases under anti-corruption statutes and apprehending all conspirators immediately. Stalin affirmed that public trust cannot be restored until stolen welfare funds are recovered and guilty administrative actors face stringent judicial accountability.
