Launching a scathing attack on the earlier DMK government by accusing it of a wide range of corrupt practices, Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay pledged not to indulge in any form of graft in his rule, not to let others do it and not to spare those who had done it in the past besides indicating that the corruption of the previous regime would be exposed one after the other.
In his reply to the motion of thanks to the Governor’s Address in the State Assembly on Tuesday, Vijay vowed to provide a clean governance and a good governance and set out to reply to those who asked what the
TVK that was just two years old could do when their members did not know anything.
He sarcastically stated that they did not know how to swindle people's money or increase the rates in the tenders and pocket the extra money.
In fact he drew a long list of corrupt practices and said that TVK members did not know how to go about them. His party members knew how to hold counselling for promotions and transfers and not to extract money from the participants and they know how to create new jobs but not how to cash in on it by selling those vacancies, he said.
