Party & ideology

Tamilselvi's political identity is built on TVK's Sathyamangalam-Bhavanisagar grassroots: a small-business owner and salon entrepreneur from the SC community, slotted into TVK's social-justice framing as a non-dynastic, first-time woman candidate. Her platform mirrors the broader TVK 2026 manifesto — Tamil identity, women's livelihoods, agrarian welfare for the Bhavani river belt, and a pitch against the dominant Dravidian parties in the Erode-Tiruppur Kongu region.
