Speculation is rife in Tamil Nadu politics as rumors suggest Sangeetha Sornalingam, the estranged wife of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief and Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, might join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This potential move is being viewed as a strategic attempt by the BJP to challenge Vijay’s political rise by bringing his personal life into the political arena.
The rumors gained traction following Sangeetha’s noticeable absence from Vijay’s swearing-in ceremony, which was attended by his parents and several high-profile guests, including actress Trisha Krishnan. Reports from media outlets like Great Andhra and Siasat Daily suggest that a senior female BJP leader, who was once a leading actress, is actively working behind the scenes to bring Sangeetha into the party fold to counter Vijay’s growing influence.
Concurrently, there are strong indications that actress Trisha Krishnan may officially enter politics and contest the upcoming by-election in the Trichy East constituency as a TVK candidate. While neither Sangeetha’s entry into the BJP nor Trisha’s candidacy has been officially confirmed, these developments have set the stage for an intense political drama in Tamil Nadu.
