S Keerthana, aged 29, has made history as the youngest minister in Tamil Nadu, serving in Chief Minister Vijay's cabinet. Representing the Sivakasi Assembly constituency in Virudhunagar district, she won her seat on a Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) ticket. Keerthana's background as a political consultant and strategist has been pivotal in her rise, particularly in youth mobilization and social media outreach. Her induction is notable not only for her age but also as she is the only woman among the nine ministers sworn in during this phase. This move is seen as part of Vijay's strategy to promote generational change and enhance women's representation in governance. The TVK secured 108 seats in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, forming a government with support from Congress and other allies. The cabinet's formation is a significant shift in Tamil Nadu's political landscape, which has been dominated by the Dravidian parties for decades.
