Sakthivel. S

Sakthivel is a 38-year-old Independent candidate from the Arani constituency in Tamil Nadu. However, there are significant discrepancies in available information about this candidate. The affidavit declares him as a 10th Pass Private Bus Driver with assets of Rs 1.52 lakh, while web sources from the 2024 Lok Sabha election identify a Sakthivel A from Arani as a 41-year-old Post Graduate Advocate with assets of Rs 53.5 lakh. This raises serious questions about whether these are the same person or if there has been a declaration error. According to web records, a candidate named Sakthivel A contested the 2024 Lok Sabha elections from Arani constituency representing Thakkam Katchi (THK) party, though the current affidavit shows him as Independent. The 2024 election saw 29 candidates compete, with DMK's M. S. Tharanivendhan ultimately winning the seat. The Arani constituency was created in 2008 during delimitation from the former Vandavasi constituency and comprises six assembly segments: Polur, Arani, Cheyyar, Vandavasi (SC), Gingee, and Mailam. No significant development work, controversies, or public initiatives could be traced to this candidate in available sources. The lack of detailed information, combined with the major discrepancies in profession, education, and assets between the affidavit and web sources, makes it difficult to assess the candidate's true credentials and track record. Voters should seek clarification on these fundamental inconsistencies before making an informed decision.
