Party & ideology

Vijayaraj's profile sits inside TVK's lawyer-organiser cluster — first-generation politicians with bar-council credentials placed in IT-corridor and coastal seats where the DMK alliance had previously relied on smaller parties to do heavy lifting. The 39,351-vote margin in Thiruporur is one of TVK's larger 2026 wins along the East Coast Road belt, against a VCK opponent who had been on the DMK alliance ticket. Elected in 2026, he belongs to the same broad professional-debutant cohort of TVK MLAs as Aadhav Arjuna (Villivakkam) and M. L. Vijay Prabhu (Madavaram) — Chennai-suburban professional candidates who helped TVK to its 108 seats.

Family

Spouse is a homeopathy doctor per the 2026 ECI affidavit. Family detail kept private; full disclosure available on the myneta candidate page.
