On claims stating that Prema is the daughter of late chief minister J Jayalalithaa, Dhinakaran said that it has become a new trend to create a sensation in television channels by claiming that one has a daughter of late AIADMK leader. "Media should check these facts before carrying the news," Dhinakaran said. "My path is to fight the elections and retrieve the AIADMK and my aunt’s path is to legally challenge and retrieve the party, the objective is the same but the path differs," he added.

When asked about the poor performance of his party in the recent civic polls, Dhinakaran blamed the State Election Commission and the ruling DMK for the loss of AMMK candidates. He said that the civic polls were won by the DMK through malpractices supported by the election commission.

Meanwhile, V K Sasikala who just completed her first phase of the political tour had started writing letters to her supporters informing them that she would soon meet them to discuss the political issues in the state.
