In front of Deepa's house, AIADMK volunteers urged her to become AIADMK general secretary, Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and requested her to fill the place of her aunt. On 24 February 2017, on the occasion of Selvi. Jayalalithaa's birthday, she launched MGR Amma Deepa Peravai. She changed her federation name to AIADMK J. Deepa wing, a team of AIADMK. Husband K. Madhavan supports her with the federation, and is its Deputy General Secretary. On 12 April 2017, she filed her nomination for R.K Nagar by-poll as an MAD Peravai candidate. The by-poll was later cancelled. She filed again for the 21 December 2017 R. K Nagar by-election. Her nomination was rejected by the returning officer. Sources said Deepa's affidavit was not in order and that she had not filled all the columns, specifically the one seeking information on the value of her properties. In March 2019, she said that her federation would contest alone for all 40 seats in Tamil Nadu. Later, she decided to tie-up with the AIADMK, saying her outfit belonged to the ruling party and even her followers were in favour of the alliance. On 30 July 2019, she announced that she was quitting politics, for lack of support, threats, abuses, health issues and peace of mind. She officially dissolved the party on the same date and advised no one to contact her further.References
