Jayalalithaa to quit vigilance portfolio after Kerala CM?

Chennai, Aug 14: Taking a dig at Jayalalithaa, Chief Minister, Tamil Nadu, M Karunanidhi, DMK supremo said that the former heading the state's vigilance department despite a probe of her involved in a disproportionate assets case is unfair.

He further cited the instance of Oomen Chandy, Chief Minister, Kerala who gave up his vigilance portfolio after a probe was ordered by the court against him being involved in the Palmoline import case.

"When a vigilance probe is on against her, it is completely improper for her to hold the portfolio. The Kerala chief minister had not only relinquished the vigilance portfolio but also offered to legally face the case. One has to have the courage to say like this," said Karunanidhi.
