Speaking to agencies, Elangovan said, "As of now the case is over, there is no judgment against Senthil Balaji. He was already released and became the MLA."

Earlier on 21 December, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State Vice President Narayanan Thirupathy stated that Balaji should have resigned the previous day and slammed his actions in the ongoing case.

"Senthil Balaji should have resigned yesterday... The Supreme Court has clearly said that they had some time to see the trial case filed. We have to note that the forensic officer has not attended the hearing; he has been influenced by Balaji... Senthil Balaji was not supposed to take adjournment but he took; he was supposed to resign yesterday. The next hearing has been scheduled for January 2025."

If he does not resign or is dismissed, this government will take heavily from the Supreme Court..." Thirupathy said while speaking to agencies.
