The elections of 2016 resulted in her constituency being won by R. Nataraj.[2] Rajalakshmi 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.[3] She joined BJP on March 11, 2024.
