Senthamizhan was sacked as Minister for Information, Law and Courts in November 2011 as part of the third cabinet reshuffle in a five-month period by Chief Minister Jayalalithaa. It was alleged that he had attempted to influence the police to release some AIADMK party members. [2]

The elections of 2016 resulted in his constituency being won by Ma. Subramanian. [3] Senthamizhan was one of thirteen AIADMK MLAs in the Greater Chennai area who were deselected by the party, apparently in an attempt to thwart a potential anti-incumbency backlash from the electorate following the recent flooding. It was felt that fresh faces would put some distance between the past and the present. [4]
