J.Agni Selvarasu

J. Agni Selvarasu is a 43-year-old advocate and oath commissioner at the Madras High Court, representing the Naadaalum Makkal Katchi (NMK) party from the Alandur constituency in Tamil Nadu. With a post-graduate education, he has declared assets worth ₹70 lakh and liabilities of ₹22 lakh, though there are discrepancies in asset reporting across different sources that raise questions about financial transparency. Selvarasu contested the 2024 Lok Sabha elections from Tiruvannamalai constituency, marking his entry into electoral politics with the relatively new NMK party. His political career appears to be in its nascent stages, with limited public visibility or media coverage. The Alandur constituency has historically been contested by major Dravidian parties, with DMK's T.M. Anbarasan winning in 2021 and DMDK's Panruti S. Ramachandran in 2011. Selvarasu's entry represents an attempt by smaller parties to establish presence in this urban constituency. Voters should note the lack of substantial public record regarding his political activities, community work, or policy positions. His clean criminal record is positive, but the discrepancies in asset declarations and minimal public engagement raise questions about transparency and political experience. As a legal professional entering politics, his understanding of law could be an asset, but his effectiveness as a people's representative remains untested.
