Recently there have been rumours about Divya joining the communist party ever since she spoke highly of communist party leader R.Nallakannu in an interview.
“I am a communist at heart; communism is built around equality and ending exploitation. I know a lot about Nallakannu Sir .He is an example of how a politician should live with simplicity and dignity and he is also someone who will sacrifice anything to uphold the principles of a casteless society, right now my focus is on making sure the underprivileged children of Tamil Nadu get adequate nutrition through Akshaya Patras mid day meal programme”
