The Minister alleged that the clip was a ruse to paint him as a whistleblower against his own party.

Tamil Nadu Finance Minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan on Saturday responded to an audio tape released by the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP), which claimed that he purportedly spoke about the alleged corruption inside the DMK with a journalist. PTR claimed the audo tape was fabricated.

DMK MP TR Baalu has sent a legal notice on Thursday to Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president K Annamalai alleging defamation after he released his video clip 'DMK Files' on April 14 that accused TR Baalu and his family members of having unaccounted assets.

Annamalai released ‘DMK files’ on April 14, making graft allegations against the ruling DMK leaders, including Chief Minister MK Stalin and their family members. DMK organising secretary RS Bharathi had already sent Annamalai a notice seeking Rs 500 crore for his allegations against the chief minister.

From details of the DMK’s properties to alleged kickbacks, the BJP leader has levelled serious accusations against the party and Tamil Nadu CM. But, the DMK has dismissed these as “defamatory, scandalous and motivated statements”.

The notice stated that the allegations made by Annamalai in his press conference are baseless, lack material and cogent evidence, unverified, and tantamount to reckless disregard for the truth. "These statements have been made only with the intention to defame our client (Udayanithi Stalin) and tarnish his reputation in the eyes of the public", reads the notice.

DMK Youth Wing chief and Tamil Nadu Minister, Udhayanidhi Stalin on Wednesday sent a legal notice to state BJP president K Annamalai over certain allegations made by the latter titled the "DMK Files."

In response to DMK's Rs 500 crore legal notice, Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai on Monday said he is ready to face all legal actions.

The ruling party also demanded damages to the tune of Rs 500 crore that would be donated to the CM’s public relief fund.

The DMK has demanded that Annamalai apologise for the allegations and delete the ‘DMK Files’ video from all social media handles.
