Finance minister bribery remark becomes DVAC-demand file

Hindustan Times reported that Finance Minister N. Marie Wilson's Assembly remark about paying a bribe during the previous DMK regime triggered demands from DMK and BJP leaders for an inquiry and for action against the minister. The report says Health Minister K.G. Arunraj defended Wilson as a whistleblower, while the government had not immediately responded to HT's request for comment. TVK Tracker records the issue cautiously because it contains allegations, counter-allegations, and a claimed admission, but no completed investigation. The public record should be judged by the Assembly transcript, any DVAC complaint or inquiry, documents behind the alleged approval process, Wilson's evidence, Poyyamozhi's response, and any court or vigilance outcome.
