Dhinakaran uses pseudonyms to criticise his opponents in election rallies

State ministers Velumani and Thangamani, who are close aides of Palaniswami, are referred to as "tender" ministers

TTV Dhinakaran, who has been ousted from the AIADMK and is V K Sasikala's nephew, has a sharp tongue. The saving grace is when he criticises his opponents in election rallies he doesn't refer to them by their names but uses pseudonyms. 

He addresses Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami as 'Tyagi' (sacrificer) and his faction of the AIADMK as Tyagi & Company. Palaniswami's deputy, O Panneerselvam, is 'Mr Dharma Yuddham'; minister Rajendra Balaji is 'Manthiravadhi' (black magic specialist); the DMDK treasurer and Vijaykanth's wife is named after a recent Rajinikanth horror movie Chandramukhi; and BJP leader and Union Minister
