Tamil Nadu BJP state secretary SG Suryah was arrested by the Madurai district cybercrime police in Chennai on the intervening night of Friday and Saturday.
Though DMK fights BJP's clampdown on its leader, the party has sent a recommendation to Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi with the view of awarding the portfolios held by Senthil Balaji to some other ministers.
After ED's raids and drive to arrest Senthil Balaji, the state ruling party has strengthened its accusation against the BJP regime, that eventually was seen in MK Stalin's decision to withdraw the general consent to CBI.
While it was initially reported that the minister would be in the hospital for two to three days, the advice for bypass surgery would extend his hospitalization.
On Tuesday, MK Stalin began his overseas tour to Singapore and Japan and he is accompanied by a delegation including the newly sworn-in minister TRB Rajaa, who is the Minister for Industries.
The BJP leader has held a press conference on Friday during which he came down hard against the DMK government and divulged more information about the PTR audio tapes.
PTR had been serving as the Finance Minister of Tamil Nadu and in the cabinet rejig, he has now been made the Minister of Information Technology and Digital Services.
Ever since the talk of the cabinet reshuffle made headlines, all eyes were on Palanivel Thiaga Rajan (PTR) that he would be moved out of the Finance Ministry after a backlash from the controversial audio tapes.
