A senior Tamil Nadu minister publicly denied allegations that a TVK MLA sent vulgar messages to a district collector, calling the reports false.
A senior minister of the Tamil Nadu government has categorically rejected media reports suggesting that a member of the TVK legislative assembly sent obscene text messages to a district collector. In a press briefing, the minister asserted that the allegations are baseless and have no factual foundation.
The minister emphasized that no official complaint or evidence has been presented to substantiate the claim, and urged the public and media to refrain from spreading unverified rumors that could tarnish the reputation of elected representatives.
While the collector’s office has not commented on the matter, the minister indicated that any genuine grievance would be addressed through appropriate legal channels. The statement aims to put an end to speculation until further verification, if any, is undertaken by the authorities.
Political analysts note that such denials are common in the state's charged political climate, but the minister’s prompt response seeks to prevent the issue from escalating into a larger controversy.
