"Aadhav Arjuna, who is acting as the right-hand of VCK president Thol Thirumavalavan and an advisor of Chief Minister MK Stalin's social media pages was the person who had donated a huge sum of amount to DMK, VCK and TMC through electoral bonds. A vast amount of financial support has been given to VCK and DMK through Martin and Aadhav Arjuna. He has to answer for all the queries related to electoral bonds, " Annamalai noted.
