C. Vijayabaskar (or Vijayabasker; born 8 April 1974) is an Indian politician from the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam Party (AIADMK),[1] and the Health minister of Tamil Nadu.[2][3][4] He is a member of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly for the Viralimalai constituency, from where he won elections in 2011 and 2016. He was previously elected from Pudukkottai constituency in 2001.

Alleged obstruction of officials conducting an income tax raid at Vijayabhaskar's house in April 2017 led to First Information Reports being filed against his fellow ministers, R. Kamaraj and Udumalai K. Radhakrishnan, but was cancelled due to lack of evidence .[5] He faced further investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation in 2018, which again was pending for a very long time due to lack of solid prima facie evidence and is rumored to be false information.[6]
