Overview
- Sengottaiyan is expected to travel to Chennai, resign his Gobichettipalayam MLA seat on 26 November, and be inducted in Vijay’s presence on 27 November, according to multiple reports citing sources.
- TVK has not issued a public confirmation of his induction, leaving the development unannounced by the party.
- The AIADMK expelled the 76-year-old after he pressed for readmitting leaders like TTV Dhinakaran and O. Panneerselvam, culminating in his membership revocation on 31 October.
- A seven-time MLA and former school education minister, he is credited as a Jayalalithaa-era campaign strategist whose organizational experience is seen as valuable for TVK’s 2026 push.
- Reports also say OPS and TTV are exploring the TVK option, as EPS plans a 30 November rally in Sengottaiyan’s home turf of Gobichettipalayam.
