Choose between post & freedom, Balaji told
The Supreme Court on Wednesday warned Tamil Nadu Electricity Minister Senthil Balaji that if he did not resign from his ministership, the bail granted to him in the money laundering case linked to the "cash-for-jobs" scam would be cancelled.
The two-judge bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Augustine George Masih gave Balaji time till next Monday (April 28) to decide.
The court, which took strong objection to Balaji becoming a minister soon after he got bail, was hearing the applications filed by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) seeking recall of the bail granted to him for "influencing witnesses in the case".
