News India Xtra@newsIndiaxtraDMK spokesperson TKS Elangovan has fired back at the TVK government, claiming the BJP got Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay into office by improper means. He said EVM manipulation and SIR, not voters, brought him to power.
The row centres on book purchases for the Periyar Arivalayam library in Coimbatore. Vijay accused the previous DMK government of corruption over them, but Elangovan rejected that and suggested the book choices were a TVK scheme.
He also alleged the BJP had asked the TVK to target the DMK, and that the party was doing so to shield Vijay from the BJP itself.
