From 2021-2026, Neravy-T.R.Pattinam saw significant infrastructure development under central government schemes, including ₹2,700 crore allocated for rural projects. Healthcare improved with JIPMER's expansion adding 118 Senior Resident positions in 2025, while 1,467 housing units were completed in Karaikal district. However, water salinity issues persisted, affecting local agriculture. MLA M. Nagathiyagarajam (DMK) focused on employment through Mahalir Thittam. No major controversies were reported, but some development projects faced delays. The constituency voted decisively for DMK in 2021, and national leaders actively campaigned here. Voters should consider both progress in infrastructure and ongoing challenges like water management when evaluating the past five years.
