DMK spokesperson Shivaji Krishnamurthy has been expelled from the party. This comes after BJP's Khushbu Sundar, criticising Krishnamurthy's remarks against her, said, "The crass comments of this habitual offender show the political culture prevalent in DMK." Tagging Tamil Nadu CM and DMK chief MK Stalin on Twitter, Sundar had said, "Your party is becoming a safe haven for uncouth hooligans."
