It is to be noted that KK Selvam representing Thousand lights constituency in Chennai left the DMK and took a pro-BJP stance following a rebellion. A close friend of DMK chief MK Stalin, he had a disagreement over the appointment of the DMK district secretary. He demanded that DMK chief must hold internal party elections and snap ties with the Congress and the Gandhi family. He had also asked Stalin to condemn Karuppar Koottam, a Youtube channel that had made a derogatory video related to a holy hymn on Lord Murugan.

When he had met the BJP leaders in Delhi without informing the party high command, Selvam had said that he was ready to face disciplinary action from the party.

KK Selvam is yet to join the BJP.

Many have raised concerns over the timing of this accident and have alleged larger conspiracies. Popular vlogger Maridhas has called for a probe by the government if whether the DMK leadership is involved either directly or indirectly.
