Tamil Nadu Election: ₹1,200+ Crore Seized as Cash & Gold, MCC Violation Allegations Against PM Modi Spark Political Row
Ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, enforcement agencies have seized over ₹1,200 crore in cash, gold, silver, liquor, drugs, and freebies under Election Commission monitoring, including ₹169.85 crore in cash and ₹650.87 crore in gold and silver.
Separately, over 700 citizens—including former officials and journalists—have alleged that PM Narendra Modi’s April 18 address violated the Model Code of Conduct, citing its broadcast on government platforms.
Opposition leaders, including Mamata Banerjee and Rahul Gandhi, have also accused the ruling party of misuse of state resources, while the Madras High Court has issued notices in a case involving alleged financial discrepancies linked to TVK chief Vijay.
As elections near, both enforcement action and political tensions continue to rise.
