According to Stalin, who is also Leader of Opposition in the state assembly, Dhanapal acted with hidden agenda in the assembly on February 18.

On that day, Chief Minister K Palaniswami had moved a confidence motion to prove his majority in the House and the opposition had demanded secret ballot or adjournment of the session for a week.

Both the requests were declined by Dhanapal and, instead, he ordered eviction of DMK members who created ruckus inside the house.
