This special report delves into the political firestorm in Tamil Nadu following the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) allegations of a massive ‘cash for jobs’ scam within the Municipal Administration and Water Supply department. The debate features DMK spokesperson Dhani Dharan, BJP’s Ramakrishnan Rajagopal, and political analyst Dr. Sumanth C. Raman. Political analyst Dr. Sumanth C. Raman captures the core of the controversy, stating, ‘Let us assume ED is biased, but is, are these facts, are these allegations factual or not?’. The discussion revolves around a 232-page dossier submitted by the ED to the state police, which allegedly contains evidence of bribes up to ₹35 lakh paid for government posts. While the DMK dismisses the allegations as a politically motivated attack by a partisan central agency, the BJP is demanding a CBI probe, arguing that a state-level investigation will not be impartial.
