After his expulsion from the AIADMK, Radhakrishnan accepted an invitation to join the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam.[4] Even though there was an anti-incumbency wave against the DMK,[citation needed] he won the 2011 Assembly election in Tiruchendur constituency.[5]
On 14 May 2015, Radhakrishnan was suspended by the DMK after he and A. Soundara Pandian greeted AIADMK leader Jayalalithaa after she was acquitted in the disproportionate asset case against her.[6]
In the elections of 2016, Radhakrishnan won again in Tiruchendur, beating Sarath Kumar of the AIADMK.[7]
