Removal of Senthil Balaji from Cabinet : Governor House action - Press Release No.40 - Dated: 29.06.2023 - தமிழ்நாடு அமைச்சரவையில் இருந்து செந்தில் பாலாஜியை நீக்குவதாக ஆளுநர் மாளிகை அறிக்கை!

Press Release No.40 - Dated: 29.06.2023

Minister Thiru V.Senthil Balaji is facing serious criminal proceedings in a number of cases of corruption including taking cash for jobs and money laundering. Abusing his position as a Minister, he has been influencing the investigation and obstructing the due process of law and justice. Currently he is in judicial custody in a criminal case being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate.

Some more criminal cases against him under Prevention of Corruption Act and the Indian Penal Code are being investigated by the State Police. There are reasonable apprehensions that continuation of Thiru V.Senthil Balaji in the Council of Ministers will adversely impact the due process of law including fair investigation that may eventually lead to breakdown of the Constitutional machinery in the State. Under these circumstances, Hon'ble Governor has dismissed Thiru V.Senthil Balaji from the Council of Ministers with immediate effect. Raj Bhavan, Chennai-22
