Tamil Nadu politics is witnessing intense speculation as reports emerge that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is making strategic moves to induct Sangeetha Sornalingam, the wife of actor-politician and Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay, into its fold. This political maneuver is seen as a direct attempt by the BJP to counter Vijay’s rising political ambitions and challenge his party’s stance in the state.
The relationship between Vijay and Sangeetha has long been a subject of discussion in Tamil media, especially after her noticeable absence from TVK’s major party launch and subsequent celebratory events. Reports indicate that Sangeetha’s divorce petition is set to be considered by the Chengalpattu family court later this month. Seizing upon these personal developments, political opponents, particularly the BJP, are reportedly utilizing a prominent actress-turned-politician within their ranks to facilitate Sangeetha’s entry into the party.
While official confirmations are still pending, these developments have triggered intense debates regarding Vijay’s political credibility. Opponents have begun questioning how a leader who faces domestic challenges can effectively govern a state. This strategic move by the BJP aims to challenge TVK’s ideological foundation, especially since Vijay recently positioned the BJP as his primary ideological opponent while seeking alliances with democratic and leftist forces.
