Commentary for Megillah 32:17

כי מרדכי היהודי משנה למלך אחשורוש וגדול ליהודים ורצוי לרוב אחיו לרוב אחיו ולא לכל אחיו מלמד שפירשו ממנו מקצת סנהדרין

'For Mordechai the Jew was viceroy to King Achashverosh, and great to the Jews, and favorable to the majority of his brethren'- To the majority of his brethren, but not to all of his brethren. This teaches, That a portion of the Sanhedrin [head Jewish court, made of 120 Sages] split off from him."

Rashi on Megillah

Parted from him: Since he neglected [the study of] Torah and entered governance.
