After several posts cropped up asking about his omission, Dharmapuri MP Senthilkumar expressed contentment in serving the people of Dharmapuri Lok Sabha constituency over the past five years and cited the implementation of several beneficial schemes in the region. Senthil Kumar extended his best wishes to A. Mani, an advocate, nominated by the DMK as its candidate for the Dharmapuri LS seat.

Senthilkumar made news for his remark of 'Gaumutra' in the Parliament. While speaking on a debate on Bills related to Jammu and Kashmir, Senthil Kumar last year asked, "Why the BJP could win polls only in the Hindi heartland states, what we generally call as gaumutra (cow urine) states. You (BJP) cannot come to south India." 

Following the incident, the BJP criticized it and Senthilkumar apologized after DMK President MK Stalin reprimanded him.
