Cash-for-jobs allegation: Will face the case legally, says K.N. Nehru
Allegations of a cash-for-jobs scheme by a minister raise serious concerns about abuse of power.
K.N. Nehru, Minister of the Municipal Administration and Water Supply (MAWS) department, responded to allegations of a cash-for-jobs scheme by stating he would face the case legally through appropriate court channels. R.S. Bharathi, DMK spokesperson, asserted that the accusations were politically motivated by the AIADMK and the BJP-led Union government, aiming to intimidate Nehru due to his political acumen. Bharathi also compared this case to previous investigations against former Union Minister P. Chidarambaram and a container seizure probe by the CBI ten years ago, claiming they were attempts to malign the DMK's image.
