Tamil Nadu Minister K N Nehru has strongly denied Enforcement Directorate allegations of a Rs 1,020 crore bribery and tender-fixing scheme in his department, calling them "politically-driven lies" orchestrated by the AIADMK-BJP alliance. While the opposition demands his removal, the ruling DMK argues central agencies are being misused as political tools ahead of elections. Nehru defends his administration's infrastructure achievements, including road construction, water supply improvements, and flood management systems.
