==Controversies==
In February 2012, [[Central Bureau of Investigation|CBI]] lodged strong protest with [[Central Vigilance Commission|CVC]] on the "dirty tricks" of certain Income Tax officials to intimidate crucial witnesses in the [[2G spectrum case]] allegedly at the behest of Minister of State (Finance) [[SS Palanimanickam]]. [[Subramanian Swamy|Dr. Swamy]], one of the petitioners in the case, said he would approach Supreme Court on this matter.<ref name="DMK’s MoS sought to derail 2G probe ">{{cite news | url=http://www.dailypioneer.com/home/online-channel/360-todays-newspaper/44600-dmks-mos-sought-to-derail-2g-probe.html | title=DMK's MoS sought to derail 2G probe|newspaper=The Daily Pioneer | date=22 February 2012 | accessdate=21 February 2012}}</ref><ref name="DMK minister harassing 2G witnesses, Swamy writes to PM">{{cite news | url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-02-22/india/31086362_1_spectrum-case-2g-party-president-subramanian-swamy | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120224162534/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-02-22/india/31086362_1_spectrum-case-2g-party-president-subramanian-swamy | url-status=dead | archive-date=24 February 2012 | title=DMK minister harassing 2G witnesses, Swamy writes to PM |date=22 Feb 2012 | newspaper=[[The Times of India]] | accessdate=22 February 2012}}</ref>

Internal rivalry in the DMK party emerged between Baalu and [[S.S. Palanimanickam]], the MP from Thanjavur constituency and the district secretary of the DMK in Thanjavur. During October 2012, Palanimackam came out open in the media to criticize his senior colleague for showing undue interest in Thanjavur, while he could have done it was his Sriperumbudur constituency. He accused Baalu for bringing all the railways schemes to Thanjavur to get the seat in Thanjavur for 2014 general elections.<ref>{{cite news|title=Palanimanickam's tirade shocks DMK leadership|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/palanimanickams-tirade-shocks-dmk-leadership/article4019760.ece|work=The Hindu|last=B.|first=Kolappan|date=22 October 2012|accessdate=10 November 2013}}</ref><ref name="open">{{cite news|title=Palanimanickam's spat with Baalu comes out in open|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/palanimanickams-spat-with-baalu-comes-out-in-open/article4018356.ece|work=The Hindu|last=G.|first=Srirnivasan|location=Thanjavur|date=21 October 2012|accessdate=10 November 2013}}</ref> Referring to the internal conflict, the party leader Karunanidhi came out in the open stating "When I go to sleep, such factional feuds engulf me and make me sleepless". Baalu being the Chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Railways, initiated the survey for the {{convert|47|km|mi|abbr=on}} Thanjavur-Pattukottai railway line and the {{convert|42|km|mi|abbr=on}} Mannargudi-Pattukottai rail project, which is believed to have created the conflict.<ref>{{cite news|title=Party feuds give sleepless nights: Karunanidhi|url=http://www.ndtv.com/article/south/party-feuds-give-sleepless-nights-karunanidhi-283016|work=NDTV|location=Chennai|date=22 October 2012|accessdate=10 November 2013}}</ref>
