Responding strongly to the searches, the ruling DMK said that it was an attempt to divert attention from 'vote chori', referring to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's recent allegations on electoral fraud in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, and alleged that central agencies were being used as "election instruments" by the BJP.

According to sources, ED has registered the Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) based on a 2012 case of the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti Corruption (DVAC) which alleged disproportionate assets of ₹2.01 crore amassed by Periyasamy during his term as minister for revenue, law, prisons and housing in the 2006-11 DMK regime.
