For Tamilisai Soundararajan, hard work and loyalty paid dividends

The Hindu  

Years ago, when Tamilisai Soundararajan told her father Kumari Ananthan, a veteran Congressman and Kamaraj loyalist, of her plans to join the BJP, it came as a rude shock to him and other members of his family. Ms. Soundararajan, who has resigned as the State unit president of the BJP, and from its primary membership, vividly recalled the beginning of her political journey and the personal problems it created within her staunch Congress-supporting family. A doctor by qualification, Ms. Soundararajan was appointed the BJP State unit’s first female president in 2014, after Pon. Often a target for sticking to her party’s central leadership’s stands on various issues concerning Tamil Nadu, she was also subjected to vile comments on social media, with meme creators mocking her appearance. Radhakrishnan would not mind another term, party leaders said both he and Ms. Soundararajan belonged to the Nadar community, and hence, he may not make the cut.
