Under the guidance of her mentor Puratchi Thalaivar Dr M.G Ramachandran, she entered politics and became a member in AIADMK in 1982. In January 1983, she was appointed as the Propaganda Secretary of AIADMK. In 1983, she was chosen by Dr MGR to conduct her maiden election campaign for the AIADMK candidate in the bye-election to Tiruchendur Assembly constituency. Her election campaign was a trail blazer securing an astounding victory for the party candidate against all odds.
In 1984, she was elected a Member of Parliament to the Rajya Sabha and retained the seat until she was elected to the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly in 1989. When Dr MGR fell ill and was under medical treatment in the USA, the AIADMK had to fight the general elections to the Lok Sabha and to the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly in December 1984. In the absence of Dr. MGR, she took his place and spear-headed the alliance of the AIADMK and Congress(I), securing a massive victory for the alliance.
After the demise of Dr. MGR in 1987, the AIADMK party split vertically into two. As the General Secretary of the party she contested the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly in January 1989 and was elected from Bodinayakkanur.

In the 1989 General Elections to the Lok Sabha, she steered the AIADMK-Congress alliance to a historic victory in the State of Tamil Nadu and the Pondicherry Union Territory.Thereafter she secured victories for AIADMK in all the subsequent bye-elections to the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly from Marungapuri, Madurai East and Pernamallur Assembly constituencies.Won a magnificent victory by contesting in both Bargur and Kangeyam constituencies during the General Elections to the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly held in 1991. Moreover, she single handedly ensured a massive victory for her party and the alliance by winning 225 constituencies out of 234. Subsequently, she resigned the Kangeyam Assembly seat she had won and made her party candidate contest in that constituency and made him secure an astounding victory.
Further she was instrumental for the historic 100 percent victory of the AIADMK and its alliance in Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry held simultaneously in 1991 General Elections to 40 Lok Sabha constituencies, in which the alliance led by her swept to a historic victory by winning all the 40 Lok Sabha seats (39 in Tamil Nadu and one in Pondicherry).
