While many seniors are stunned to see that the tamil Nadu Higher education Department has been allotted to raja Kannappan, information about its background has come out. In a case registered for amassing assets beyond their income, the madras high court has sentenced tamil Nadu Higher education minister Ponmudi and his wife Visalakshi to 3 years in prison and a fine of Rs 50 lakh each. A period of 30 days has also been given to appeal against this decision. However, as per the Representation of the people Act, Ponmudi lost his ministerial post and mla due to his conviction in a corruption case. He lost his position immediately.
Subsequently, the higher education department, which Ponmudi was holding, was additionally allocated to Backward Welfare minister raja Kannappan. Higher education, Science and technology Departments were additionally assigned to minister raja Kannappan, and Khadi and village Industries, which were held by raja Kannappan, were also assigned to Handicrafts minister Gandhi. As soon as the verdict in minister Ponmudi's case comes, there are reports that the higher education department is more likely to be allocated to school education minister Anbil Mahesh. Also, many ministers, ex-ministers and MLAs in the DMK immediately moved their sources to get that department. But to everyone's surprise why did chief minister stalin allocate higher education to raja Kannappan.
