Chennai, Oct. 30 -- Tamil Nadu's Opposition alliance on Wednesday accused the state's Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam-led government of not acting on information from the Enforcement Directorate, alleging corruption in the recruitment of 2,538 posts in Municipal Administration and Water Supply (MAWS) department , even as the government claimed the ED was raking up an old case of false allegations ahead of 2026 assembly polls. ED, in a letter dated October 27 to the Tamil Nadu police, alleged that bribes of Rs.25-35 lakh per post were exchanged for 2,538 posts in the MAWS department. It said that while investigating a bank fraud in April, they found evidence of corruption in staff hiring in MAWS in 2024-25 and 2025-26 in seized devices. "...The evidence clearly shows that huge manipulations were done in the recently concluded selection/ examination process of officers and staff by MAWS...," the federal agency wrote in a letter, which has been seen by HT. ED also forwarded a 232-page note of evidence with the letter to state police under Section 66(2) of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The opposition AIADMK and BJP slammed the government for what they said was a Rs.800 crore corruption scandal, targeting water supply minister KN Nehru. "Complaints revealed bribes of Rs 25-35 lakh percandidate were collected by minister Nehru, his brothers and officials," AIADMK general secretary Edappadi Palaniswami said....
