P. Sudhakar

P. Sudhakar is a 47-year-old BSP politician from Arakkonam (SC) constituency in Tamil Nadu who has been consistently contesting elections despite limited electoral success. With a 12th-grade education and working as a wage earner, he represents the grassroots leadership that BSP traditionally promotes. His financial declaration of Rs. 8.91 lakhs in total assets reflects a modest economic background typical of working-class politicians. Sudhakar's electoral journey shows persistence but declining influence. He secured 2,030 votes (1.43%) in 2011, dropped to 1,641 votes (0.99%) in 2016, and marginally recovered to 1,825 votes (1.08%) in 2021. These numbers indicate he has failed to build a significant voter base in Arakkonam, where major Dravidian parties dominate. The candidate maintains a clean legal record with no criminal cases declared in his affidavit. However, his political impact remains minimal in a constituency where AIADMK, DMK, and VCK are the primary contenders. His repeated candidacies suggest either personal political ambition or party strategy to maintain BSP presence in Tamil Nadu's reserved constituencies. Voters should know that Sudhakar represents continuity over change - a consistent but ineffective political presence who has not demonstrated the ability to win elections or build meaningful political coalitions in Arakkonam over more than a decade of trying.
