DMK MP Tiruchi Siva made the remarks when asked about ruling AIADMK legislature party electing VK Sasikala as its leader, paving the way for her elevation as the southern state's Chief Minister, replacing O Panneerselvam.
"The state government is not people-friendly and its anti-people activities are well known and we have been fighting it. So, we don't have to go into who is there in that chair.
The Rajya Sabha member added while the change in guard by AIADMK is "within its purview" the DMK's job is to monitor how it functions.
AIADMK MLAs had yesterday elected Sasikala, a close associate of late J Jayalalithaa for nearly three decades, as their leader in Assembly and she is expected to be sworn-in as the Chief Minister tomorrow.
