Vidhya Veerappan, the daughter of the notorious criminal Veerappan, known for his involvement in kidnapping, elephant poaching, and sandalwood smuggling, is gearing up to make her mark in the political arena. Following in her father’s footsteps, but in a markedly different direction, Vidhya has decided to contest the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Having pursued her education in law, Vidhya Veerappan is not only armed with legal knowledge but also a deep understanding of the socio-political landscape. After completing her law degree in Bangalore, she has chosen to channel her energies into public service and political representation.
The decision to contest the Krishnagiri Lok Sabha seat under the banner of Nam Tamizhar Katchi (NTK) reflects Vidhya’s commitment to serving her community and addressing their concerns at a national level. By stepping into the political realm, she aims to bring about positive change and advocate for the issues affecting her constituents.
Despite her familial background, Vidhya Veerappan’s entry into politics marks a departure from her father’s criminal legacy. Instead, she seeks to carve out her own path and make a constructive contribution to society.
Vidhya’s transition from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to NTK underscores her evolving political ideology and her alignment with a party that resonates with her vision for governance and public service.
As Vidhya Veerappan embarks on this new chapter in her life, she faces both challenges and opportunities. However, her determination to represent her constituency with integrity and dedication signals a promising beginning to her political journey.
