TN Governor Ravi dismisses arrested minister from Council of Ministers
He claimed that there were valid concerns that Senthil Balaji's continued membership in the Council of Ministers would have a negative effect on the administration of justice, including a fair inquiry, and possibly result in the eventual dissolution of the state's constitutional system
Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi dismissed arrested former Electricity Minister V Senthil Balaji from the state cabinet on Thursday.
“Minister 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,” the Governor mentioned in a statement.
He said, “He is currently being held under judicial supervision in a criminal case that the Enforcement Directorate is looking into. The state police are looking into a few more criminal cases against him under the Prevention of Corruption Act and the Indian Penal Code”.
He claimed that there were valid concerns that Senthil Balaji’s continued membership in the Council of Ministers would have a negative effect on the administration of justice, including a fair inquiry, and possibly result in the eventual dissolution of the state’s constitutional system.
