From 2021-2026, Mangalam constituency saw mixed progress under AINRC's C. Djeacoumar. Major central projects included ₹2,700 crore for roads and infrastructure, 100% rural tap water coverage under Jal Jeevan Mission by 2026, and healthcare upgrades like critical care blocks. However, civic issues persisted - water protests occurred in 2023, and flooding hit Sellipet in 2021. The 2026 elections feature a rematch between AINRC and DMK, with national alliances playing key roles. Voters should weigh infrastructure gains against ongoing local challenges when considering their choice.
Key Achievements
