Wherever there is corruption, DMK will be present,\u2019\u2019 said Vijay in his response to the demand for grants for home department. His charges triggered loud protests from DMK members who stormed the well of the House after speaker J C D Prabhakar denied opposition leader Udhayanidhi permission to respond. DMK MLAs later walked out.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Vijay started his speech around 9.33am, listing out measures taken by his govt to maintain law and order and ensure corruption-free governance. <!-- -->The situation turned chaotic in 20 minutes when Vijay sharpened his attack on the previous DMK govt.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Citing the 1976 Sarkaria Commission report, Vijay said there was an entire chapter dedicated to \u2018Veeranam pipeline scam\u2019 and mentioned the alleged corruption by Karunanidhi and Maran.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>\u201cThe report says they demanded 2.5% commission for the project,\u2019\u2019 Vijay said. He then turned to the more recent DMK regime. Reading out from a letter sent by Enforcement Directorate in Dec 2025, he said Stalin and Udhayanidhi were direct beneficiaries of party fund. \u201cThey dared me to open the three files on my table. Before opening them, let me show a sample,\u201d he said, reading out portions of the ED and DVAC reports.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>He alleged that there was corruption under former ministers K N Nehru and V Senthilbalaji. \u201cThey wanted proof of corruption. Here it is,\u2019\u2019 Vijay said, displaying a copy of the ED letter. Targeting Udhayanidhi, Vijay asked \u201cwho is Ratheesh\u201d and why was he \u201chiding\u201d in Dubai ever since TVK came to power.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>The CM said many DMK leaders used offensive language. He invoked former AIADMK CMs M G Ramachandran and J Jayalalithaa more than once to attack DMK. He also referred to Telugu Desam Party founder N T Rama Rao and positioned himself in the league of former chief ministers C N Annadurai, M G Ramachandran and N T Rama Rao. \u201cAnna in 1967, MGR in 1977, NTR in 1983 and Vijay in 2026,\u2019\u2019 he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Protesting the CM\u2019s remarks, Udhayanidhi and other DMK MLAs stood up. <!-- -->Udhayanidhi sought permission to respond to the charges levelled against him as Vijay continued with his speech. DMK MLAs displayed pamphlets related to alleged corruption and crimes involving TVK functionaries, and repeatedly demanded that the speaker allow Udhayanidhi to speak. With no response from the Speaker, DMK MLAs entered the well of the House.<!-- --> The Speaker questioned the MLAs for bringing posters and pamphlets into the House without his permission.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>\u201cThe intention of DMK members is to prevent the CM from delivering his reply,\u2019\u2019 the speaker said, adding that he would not bend to pressure from the opposition. After some time, however, he said the CM had suggested that he allow the opposition leader to speak, and that he would consider the request. On hearing this, DMK legislators returned to their seats. However, the speaker refused to allow Udhayanidhi to speak, prompting the DMK members to walkout in protest.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>Later, Vijay helped DMK MLA Durai Chandrasekar, who was in the well of the House, get up.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/chennai\/tamil-nadu-cm-vijay-spits-fire-at-three-generations-of-dmk-leaders\/articleshow\/133893521.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vijay started his speech around 9.33am, listing out measures taken by his govt to maintain law and order and ensure corruption-free governance.
