Aditya Sethupathi belongs to the lineage of Bhaskara Sethupathi, the erstwhile ruler of the Ramanathapuram princely state, who is widely remembered for supporting Swami Vivekananda’s iconic journey to the 1893 Parliament of World Religions in Chicago. This moment played a crucial role in introducing Hindu philosophy to the global stage.
Carrying forward this legacy, Aditya brings with him a background of active political engagement. During his student years, he was involved with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the student wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), where he held the position of State Joint Secretary. His organizational experience spans several regions across India, including Delhi, Assam, and other northeastern states. Notably, he also served as the District Organizational Secretary for JNU in Delhi.
Now stepping into a prominent role within the Tamil Nadu BJP, Aditya Sethupathi’s induction is seen as a strategic move to energize the youth base. His presence is expected to attract young supporters and strengthen the party’s outreach ahead of the 2026 state elections.
With a combination of royal heritage and grassroots political experience, Aditya Sethupathi’s appointment marks a significant addition to the BJP’s leadership in Tamil Nadu, positioning the party as an emerging platform for politically engaged youth in the state.
