Tamil Nadu Minister for Information and Publicity Rajmohan on Sunday alleged that he was offered ₹5 crore as bribe to appoint someone as the president of the Iyal Isai Nataka Mandram.Participating at the Tamil Nadu Day event celebrations at Egmore in Chennai, the Minister said: “I have not revealed this before. [Tamil Nadu Textbook Corporation chief] Layola Mani knows this. A person said, ‘If I am given the post of president of the Iyal Isai Nataka Mandram, I will offer ₹5 crore to Minister Rajmohan’. I smiled and told Layola Mani, even if someone offers ₹500 crore as bribe, I will not give the post to someone who is not suited for it. Without even getting a single rupee from anyone, Pushpavanam Kuppusamy, who is the most suited for the role, was appointed as the president of the association.”Meanwhile, AIADMK leader D. Jayakumar questioned the identity of the person who allegedly offered to bribe Mr. Rajmohan and said the person should be prosecuted.
