V. P. Kalairajan (born 15 June 1961) is an Indian politician and was a member of the 13th and 14th Tamil Nadu Legislative Assemblies from the Theagaraya Nagar constituencyinChennai district. He represented the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) party. Now, he is a member of DMK.

Kalairajan won the Theagaraya Nagar constituency as an AIADMK candidate in the 2006[1] and 2011 state assembly elections.[2]

The elections of 2016 resulted in Kalairajan's constituency being won by B. Sathyanarayanan of the AIADMK.[3] He was one of thirteen AIADMK MLAs in the Greater Chennai area who were deselected by the party, apparently in an attempt to thwart a potential anti-incumbency backlash from the electorate following the recent flooding. It was felt that fresh faces would put some distance between the past and the present.[4]

As of December 2016, Kalairajan was AIADMK district secretary for South Chennai (North) unit,[5] a position from which he had been removed by Jayalalithaa, the then Chief Minister, in October 2015.[6] Following the death of Jayalalitha in December 2016, he supported the move to have V. K. Sasikala installed as Chief Minister in place of O. Paneerselvam.[7]
