DMK president M.K. Stalin has accused the government of using the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption to conduct politically motivated raids on K.N. Nehru. Stalin claims the action is a diversionary tactic amidst ongoing legislative controversies in Tamil Nadu.
Why it matters
The incident underscores the intense political rivalry and allegations of institutional misuse in Tamil Nadu state politics.
DMK president M.K. Stalin on Saturday (September 5, 2026) alleged that the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) was conducting raids at the residence of former Minister K.N. Nehru for political reasons.
In a social media message, he said the raids were being conducted when a case was pending before the High Court and the Assembly was in session.
He said the people of Tamil Nadu knew about the “horse trading” by the ruling party, which he alleged involved making members of other political parties resign as MLAs and admitting them into the ruling party on the Assembly premises. An FIR in connection with the issue was pending, he said.
