Political career
In September 2018, Bharatiya Janata Party’s H Raja had accused Arunmozhithevan of encroaching upon a temple land in Thittakudi. Arunmozhithevan criticized Raja and said H Raja as mentally affected, seeking to create communal clashes in the state. 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.
