Ganeshkumar's politics is rooted in the PMK's social-justice plank — caste-based reservation expansion, Most Backward Class (MBC) protections for Vanniyars, and rural-Tamil welfare. The party was founded by Dr. S. Ramadoss in 1989 out of the Vanniyar Sangam's 1987 reservation agitation. As of 2025, PMK is led by Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss after a public split with his father; Ganeshkumar's youth-wing appointment came under the Anbumani-led faction. PMK formally joined the AIADMK-led NDA front for 2026 on 7 January 2026 and was allotted 18 seats.
