Chennai, June 30: Describing as “mischievous” and “politically motivated” the probe ordered by Tamil Nadu Government into the reported “unauthorised” construction of a tea factory, AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa today said it would fail like other cases against her.
In a statement here, Jayalalithaa denied there was any unauthorised construction and said only renovation of a 122- year-old dilapidated factory had been undertaken after taking permission of the officials.
The present condition of the factory posed danger to the lives of the workers, she said.
The state government yesterday ordered an inquiry by an IAS officer into the reported “unauthorised” construction of the factory in Kodanadu in Nilgiris District.
Rural Development director D Udhayachandran has been directed to conduct a detailed investigation into the issue.
