With his latest venture, Saravanan took the state by surprise by joining the chaotic and beleaguering ADMK by meeting the party's interim general secretary Edappadi Palaniswami. 

In the midst of condolences from the DMK leaders including Chief Minister MK Stalin, Masthan's son filed a complaint with the Guduvancheri police after casting suspicions on his father's death. 

Expelled ADMK's general secretary VK Sasikala has come up with a plan to ramp up her measures to take control of the party.

As the voices to win a statehood grow in the territory, ADMK secretary Anbalagan had called for a one-day bandh and he planned to organize the strike on Wednesday - December 28. 

Tamil Nadu's Opposition party ADMK is in more fragility in the wake of escalating divide between the two factions led by - Edappadi Palaniswami (EPS) and O Panneerselvam (OPS).

Though their leadership crisis is before the Supreme Court, the notice has further divided both the factions with giving no sight of political consensus. 

Masthan had a political affiliation with the ADMK before joining DMK and he was elected to the Rajya Sabha from Tamil Nadu from an ADMK ticket. He served as an MP from 1995 to 2001.

The grim incident drew major attention and the former ADMK minister had slammed the ruling DMK government for threatening the ADMK.

DMK MLA and party's youth wing secretary Udhayanidhi Stalin took oath as the cabinet minister on December 14. 

He was associated with ADMK and he has died in a fatal accident after the party's flag pole was fallen on him while repairing its damage.
