The DMK on Thursday described the Tamil Nadu governent's decision to set up a judicial commission to go into the death of Jayalalithaa as a step aimed at sidelining V.K. Sasikala under "pressure" from the BJP-led govenment at the Centre.
"Both the factions of AIADMK are taking turns to fall at the feet of the BJP at the Centre. This step can be seen only as a move aimed at pleasing the BJP," DMK leader T.K.S. Elangovan said in his reaction to the development.
He said that when the DMK had demanded a judicial probe the same Edappadi Palaniswami had rejected it but now they have been forced to do the same because of "pressure" from the BJP and aimed at sidelining Sasikala.
