Vijayadharani's political career is marked by consistent electoral success in Vilavancode, winning three consecutive terms from 2011-2021 with increasing vote shares. However, her switch from Congress to BJP in February 2024 has drawn significant attention and criticism, being viewed as opportunistic timing ahead of elections. Her transition represents a major political realignment in a constituency she dominated under a different party.
