IT raids won`t stop me from winning: Kanimozhi |
Senior DMK leader and party chief MK Stalin`s sister, Kanimozhi on Wednesday said that the BJP cannot stop her from winning in the Lok Sabha elections by mounting pressure through income tax raids. She said that the raid is anti-democratic, deliberately planned and tested, and no document has been seized. Following the raids, I-T sources said that it was a "false tip" and no case has been registered. After the raids Kanimozhi said, "They want to intimidate us...they have come to stop elections in Thoothukudi. DMK volunteers will be working with more enthusiasm now," she added. The raids on Kanimozhi, who is contesting from the Thoothukudi Lok Sabha seat, comes just 48 hours before Tamil Nadu votes on April 18. On Tuesday evening, tax department officials swooped down on the house, where the DMK leader was staying. Party chief MK Stalin, yesterday alleged that the BJP is using all central probe agencies against opposition leaders because of the "fear of losing." Last week, tax department officials conducted searches at 18 locations in Tamil Nadu. The list of locations included Chennai, Namakkal and Tirunelveli. Most of the searches were on properties owned by opposition leaders.
