Political sentiment analysis has become an essential area of research in Natural Language Processing (NLP), driven by the rapid rise ofsocial media as a key platform for political discourse. This study focuses on sentiment classification in Tamil political tweets, addressing the linguistic and cultural complexities inherent in low-resource languages. To overcome data scarcity challenges, we develop a system that integrates embeddings with advanced Machine Learning techniques, ensuring effective sentiment categorization. Our approach leverages deep learning-based models and transformer architectures to capture nuanced expressions, contributing to improved sentiment classification. This work enhances NLP methodologies for low-resource languages and provides valuable insights into Tamil political discussions, aiding policymakers and researchers in understanding public sentiment more accurately. Notably, our system secured Rank 5in the NAACL shared task, demonstrating its effectiveness in real-world sentiment classification challenges.
