Expelled AIADMK veteran Sengottaiyan joins Vijay's TVK - The Hindu
Former Tamil Nadu Minister K.A. Sengottaiyan has formally joined the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) after being expelled from the AIADMK. His removal came after the party accused him of activities that went against its interests, particularly amid internal conflicts and leadership debates. Sengottaiyan, a long-time AIADMK loyalist and senior figure, chose to align with TVK, the party led by actor-politician Vijay. His entry is seen as a significant gain for TVK, which is working to strengthen its presence ahead of upcoming elections. Political observers believe that Sengottaiyan’s grassroots support and administrative experience could boost TVK's organisational strength, especially in western Tamil Nadu. Meanwhile, the AIADMK continues to face internal challenges following successive exits of key leaders. Sengottaiyan expressed confidence that TVK represents a fresh political alternative focused on development, youth engagement, and transparent governance.
