Arun. C

Arun. C is a 37-year-old Independent candidate contesting from the Cheyyur (SC) constituency in Tamil Nadu. According to his election affidavit, he operates 'Arun Cabs & Travels,' suggesting he is in the transportation business. His educational qualification is listed as 'Others,' without further specification. His decision to contest as an Independent in a constituency traditionally dominated by Dravidian parties represents a significant electoral challenge. Cheyyur is a Scheduled Caste reserved assembly constituency in Chengalpattu district, formed after delimitation in 2008. The constituency has seen competitive contests between DMK-allied parties (particularly VCK) and AIADMK in recent elections, with VCK's M. Babu winning in 2021 and DMK's R. T. Arasu in 2016. Independent candidates in Tamil Nadu assembly elections typically face steep odds against organized party machinery. Arun's financial declaration raises questions about the viability of his business operations, with declared movable assets of only Rs. 12,500 and no immovable property, while carrying liabilities of Rs. 55,000. For a transport business owner, the absence of declared vehicles or property is unusual. No criminal cases have been declared against him, and he has no previous electoral history in available public records. Voters should note that this candidate has no discernible public profile, media coverage, or documented track record in public service or political activism. His candidacy appears to lack the organizational support, financial resources, and public visibility typically associated with competitive electoral campaigns in Tamil Nadu.
