Tamil Nadu BJP chief Annamalai released a second audio clip on Tuesday in which state Finance Minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan is heard accusing CM MK Stalin's family of corruption.
Sharing the released audio, Annamalai said, "Listen to the DMK ecosystem crumbling from within. The 2nd tape of TN State FM Thiru @ptrmadurai. Special Thanks to TN FM for drawing a proper distinction between DMK & BJP! #DMKFiles."

In the audio, PTR is heard saying, "Here (In DMK) every decision has to be by MLA and the Minister..Who looks after the party who looks after the people..Ohh.. it's easier to do money management..it is not a system..they are taking the bulk of the spoils..The party which is the CM's son and son-in-law."
Though the audio claims that the Minister accused CM's son and son-in-law of corruption, ABP Live could not independently verify the authenticity of the audio.
On April 14, Annamalai released "DMK files" in which he alleged that DMK leaders received "kickbacks of Rs 200 crore" from an MNC through two shell firms and the sum was used by "TN Chief Minister M K Stalin as the 2011 election fund for DMK".
In another press conference in Delhi, BJP Spokesperson Syed Zafar Islam said, "When the Finance Minister of Stalin talked to a journalist he revealed that Stalin’s son-in-law Sabareesan and his son Udhayanidhi Stalin made Rs. 30,000 crores in one year. And their main concern is how and where to hide the money.”
Meanwhile, BJP is also having a strained relationship with its ally, AIADMK.
