Coimbatore-based influencer and former TVK member Vaishnavi, who recently stepped down from Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, cited lack of opportunities for women within the party as the reason for her resignation. Despite her popularity, she revealed she was not even invited to two key committee meetings held in her own city, leading to growing frustration and stress.
Vaishnavi has now expressed gratitude to Coimbatore MLA and BJP Mahila Morcha National President Vanathi Srinivasan for supporting her political transition.
In a post on X, she wrote, “Young women and youth like me definitely need the encouragement and guidance of experienced people like you to be the voice of the people in the political arena!! Of course, my public service will continue… Thank you to all the good people who continue to support me… Thank you sister @VanathiBJP.”
என்னை போன்ற இளம் பெண்களும் இளைஞர்களும் அரசியல் களத்தில் மக்கள் குரலாக ஒலிக்க உங்களைப் போன்ற அனுபவம் மிக்கவர்களின் ஊக்கமும் வழிகாட்டுதலும் நிச்சயம் தேவை!! நிச்சயமாக எனது மக்கள் பணி தொடரும்..எனக்கு தொடர்ந்து ஆதரவு கொடுத்து கொண்டிருக்கும் அனைத்து நல்உள்ளங்களுக்கும் நன்றி…
நன்றி… https://t.co/wjkns1hKJz— Vaishnavi (@vaishnavi_cbe) May 4, 2025
This came in response to BJP leader Vanathi Srinivasan’s recent press statement, where she invited young aspirants like Vaishnavi to join the BJP, emphasizing the party’s inclusive nature and opportunities.
Vanathi said, “Usually, when young people or women express a desire to dedicate themselves to politics, they often lack support from their families or society. Parents who proudly support their children becoming doctors or engineers rarely show the same encouragement if they choose politics. But if someone truly believes that politics is a path to serve the people, they can overcome any obstacle with conviction. So, if that sister genuinely wants to enter politics for public service, she is welcome to join our party. Here, everyone is given equal opportunity.”

Actor Vijay’s political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), is actively gearing up for the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections by appointing district secretaries, organizing conventions, and conducting booth committee meetings.
Recently, a booth committee meeting was held in Coimbatore district. However, local party volunteer Vaishnavi was reportedly denied entry to the meeting. Her exclusion caught media attention after she voiced her concerns in a press interview, leading to a growing spotlight on her situation.
In a subsequent public statement, Vaishnavi officially announced her resignation from TVK. She wrote, “I’m writing this with a heavy heart. Despite gaining recognition in a short span within the party, my goals and vision have remained unchanged. I began my political journey with TVK hoping to bring about real change in society. But all I’ve faced is continuous rejection. For the past three months, I’ve been under immense stress. Some individuals within the party have been actively working to block my growth.”
Following her resignation, Vaishnavi gave an exclusive interview to News18 Tamil Nadu, where she stated, “We joined with the hope that Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam would uplift and support young women. But unfortunately, the actions of certain district-level administrators have created an environment where women like us are being sidelined.”
