Over the past five years (2021-2026), Villianur constituency saw mixed progress under DMK's R. Siva as MLA. The Union Territory benefited from ₹2,700 crore central projects including road and water improvements, with NH-332 development underway. However, opposition parties criticized the government for undelivered 'BEST Puducherry' promises and rising drug abuse claims. The region experienced significant COVID-19 impacts with over 1.6 lakh cases by 2022. While specific local disasters weren't reported, Puducherry faced Cyclone Nivar aftermath. Major political events included DMK's 2021 victory and the 2021 trust vote crisis. Voters should evaluate both infrastructure gains and governance criticisms when considering their 2026 choice.
