Ezhilarasi Vijayendran

Ezhilarasi Vijayendran is a 35-year-old postgraduate affiliated with Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK), a Tamil nationalist party founded in 1958 and currently led by Seeman. She has contested two major elections under the NTK banner with limited electoral success. In the 2021 Tamil Nadu Assembly election, she contested from Pudukkottai constituency, securing only 11,503 votes (6.39%), finishing fourth behind DMK winner V. Muthuraja (85,802 votes) and AIADMK's V.R. Karthik Thondaiman (72,801 votes). Her performance improved significantly in the 2024 Lok Sabha election from Sivaganga constituency, where she secured 163,412 votes (15.51%), though still finishing third behind INC's Karti P Chidambaram (427,677 votes) and AIADMK's Xavierdass A (222,013 votes). Her financial profile shows notable changes between elections. In 2021, she declared her profession as 'Housewife' with assets worth Rs. 87.1 lakh and no criminal cases. By 2025, her affidavit lists her as an 'Employee In Private Company' with assets of Rs. 1.54 crore (including Rs. 87.3 lakh movable and Rs. 67 lakh immovable assets) and liabilities of Rs. 45.28 lakh. She now has one criminal case registered (§: 0063/2026, Thirukokarnam Police Station), though details about this case are not publicly available. Despite contesting two high-profile elections, Ezhilarasi maintains minimal public visibility. No verified social media profiles, major public statements, or media interviews were found. Her political activity appears confined to NTK's organizational work rather than individual campaigning. The party itself has grown significantly, becoming a major third force in Tamil Nadu with over 8% vote share in 2024 Lok Sabha elections, advocating for Tamil nationalism, environmental issues, and regional autonomy. Voters should note the discrepancies between her 2021 and 2025 affidavits regarding profession and criminal cases, the 77% asset increase in four years, and the absence of any documented development work or public initiatives despite two election contests. Her improved vote share in 2024 reflects NTK's overall growth rather than individual political capital.
