He stated, “I am going to give it (the evidence) to CBI. In 2011, the election funding has come. A complaint will be filed that an investigation should be conducted.” He further alleged that DMK is becoming a money laundering company and that he will expose all the DMK leaders involved in corruption.

“We have released DMK files part 1. It’s going to be a series throughout the year. It’s just the first family of the DMK that we have disclosed that too direct assets and their shareholdings in a company and the valuations. We haven’t gone beyond it,” Annamalai said.
When local journalists asked Annamalai about the video he said, he will take questions for the video only after a week so that ‘Journalists can get ample time to verify the allegations’.
On the other hand, RS Bharathi, DMK organising secretary challenged the BJP leader to file cases against them to prove Rs 200 crore bribery allegations.
