G. Balamurugan, 44, is a construction industry professional making his political debut with actor Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) in the Ambattur constituency. With declared assets of Rs. 2.4 crores and no criminal cases, he represents TVK's strategy of fielding fresh candidates across Tamil Nadu as the party makes its electoral debut in 2026. His candidacy comes at a challenging time for TVK, which has faced legal scrutiny following the tragic Karur crowd crush in September 2025 that killed 41 people, though Balamurugan himself has no controversies on record. As part of TVK's comprehensive manifesto promising welfare schemes like Rs. 2,500 monthly for homemakers and ambitious goals to transform Tamil Nadu into a $1.5 trillion economy by 2036, Balamurugan faces established opponents in a competitive Ambattur race. Voters should know he's an untested political newcomer whose success will largely depend on TVK's overall performance and Vijay's star appeal translating into electoral gains.
