BJP has no role in IT searches in TN: Swamy

Senior BJP leader Dr Subramanian Swamy today said his party had no role in the recent income tax searches on the premises of Tamil Nadu Health Minister C Vijayabaskar and others.
The I-T department has the right to search any body's premises, if it found necessary, he told reporters here.
He also appealed to the voters in RK Nagar in Chennai to defeat DMK in the April 12 assembly bolls.
DMK and Congress were "involved in several scams" during their regimes in Tamil Nadu and at the Centre respectively, he alleged.
On the ongoing agitation by Tamil Nadu farmers in New Delhi demanding a drought relief package of Rs 40,000 crore from the Centre, farm loan waiver and setting up of Cauvery Management Board, Swamy said MPs from the state should meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi to find a solution to the issue.
