Multiple government accounts. Crores of taxpayers’ money allegedly stolen!” Selvam said, raising questions over the Vijay government’s financial oversight and accountability.“These are funds meant for rural development, essential services and public welfare. Money entrusted to the government for the benefit of ordinary citizens,” he wrote.The BJP leader questioned how cybercriminals allegedly breached government payment systems and executed transactions worth crores, asking where the security checks, financial controls and monitoring mechanisms were.

“Where is chief minister Vijay when the people of Tamil Nadu demand answers?” Selvam said, alleging a communication gap between the chief minister, his ministers and the public.Taking a swipe at the TVK government’s functioning, Selvam said political parties had IT wings, but Tamil Nadu had witnessed an actor’s fan club and social media army move from trending hashtags to running a state government.“Unfortunately, managing hashtags and managing a state are two very different things,” he said.Selvam demanded transparent answers, stronger institutions and assurances that the government could safeguard public funds.
