Roshini S, representing the Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) party, is campaigning in Villivakkam, a suburb of Chennai, for the upcoming Tamil Nadu assembly elections in 2026. As the only transgender candidate in this election, Roshini aims to break barriers and hopes to become the first transwoman elected to the assembly. She has been active in social activism, particularly concerning environmental issues, and emphasizes her desire to connect with the community. Roshini's campaign slogan, 'Reach for the skies, Villivakkam,' reflects her aspirations for both herself and her constituents. She plans to address key issues such as educational support for school dropouts, women's entrepreneurial education, and environmental initiatives. Roshini believes that her identity as a trans candidate is secondary to her role as a sister to her constituents, stating that the public reception has been encouraging. She faces competition from candidates of established parties, including Karthik Mohan from the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and S R Vijayakumar from the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK).
