As far as Kanyakumari is concerned, it is the native place of Soundararajan, and BJP being the largest party in Tamil Nadu, former Union Minister Pon. Radhakrishnan's name has also started to find a name. As far as ministerial post is concerned, the BJP is set to form the government for the third time in a row hence creating a possibility of the Union Minister post in Tamil Nadu.
