The dramatic fall of T T V Dhinakaran had the BJP's signature written all over, but it could be rivalry within Sasikala's family that put the final nail in the coffin of his political career.

Soon after D Jayakumar announced the party's decision to keep away V K Sasikala and her family from the party ,D Jeyanandh, son of Sasikala's brother Dhiwakaran welcomed the decision. Jeyanandh had said in his Facebook post, "Except Sasikala no one else....The decision taken by ministers now to set aside Sasikala's family was suggested by us before months...it is a late but wise decision."
