Political career

edit

In September 2018, Bharatiya Janata Party's H Raja had accused Arunmozhithevan of encroaching upon a temple land in Thittakudi.[3] Arunmozhithevan criticized Raja and said H Raja was mentally affected, seeking to create communal clashes in the state.[4] Five days after Arunmozhithevan submitted a petition seeking action against H Raja for making baseless allegations against him, the Central Crime Branch said that cases have been registered against the BJP leader H Raja under various sections.[5]
