P Chidambaram On Vijay Govt's 100 Days: '95% Corruption Stamped Out' In Key Departments

In an exclusive NDTV conversation, former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram assessed Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay's first 100 days in office. Chidambaram said it was too early to make a final assessment but claimed the government had implemented some of its key election promises. He also said corruption had been "substantially" stamped out in several departments, including registration, motor vehicles and teacher transfers, claiming over 95% of corruption had been eliminated in these areas. Chidambaram said the government's handling of corruption in tenders and contracting would need to be watched before a broader assessment could be made.
