In a major political development in Tamil Nadu, veteran leader K.A. Sengottaiyan has officially joined Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) today. The former AIADMK heavyweight was welcomed by TVK president Vijay at the party headquarters.
Sengottaiyan, a five-decade political figure and multiple-term MLA from Gobichettipalayam, was recently expelled from AIADMK after internal disputes—fueling speculation about his next move.
Why This Matters
Sengottaiyan brings 50 years of political experience, strong grassroots networks, and influence in the western belt, especially Erode and Gobichettipalayam.
The move gives TVK a major organisational and credibility boost ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections.
Analysts say this could shift caste-vote dynamics and attract more senior leaders towards Vijay’s growing political force.
What They Said
Vijay called Sengottaiyan’s entry a “big strength for the party,” while the veteran leader said he joined TVK believing it represents the “future of Tamil Nadu politics.”
This marks one of TVK’s most significant political inductions yet—setting the stage for a heated 2026 poll battle.
