Edappadi Palaniswami had alleged in a protest held in Palanganatha, Madurai yesterday that Minister of Commercial Taxes and Securities Murthy had conducted a wedding ceremony at his home at a cost of Rs 30 crore.
In this case, the reporters questioned Minister Murthy who met the reporters today in this regard. In response, Minister Murthy said, “Politics should be considered as a civilization in which politics should be done. Is this social justice? Is this the Dravidian model? He asks. Yes, this is the Dravidian model. At the wedding, poor people, regardless of caste and community, sat together and had food.
What if we put food? How much per leaf? 300 rupees at most? 50,000 people will eat, will it come to one and a half crore? I was careful not to politicize this. He said 30 crores, did he do the accounting work? He said how many thousands of crores of rupees he has spent to become the General Secretary.
