Arunkumar A

Arunkumar, 41, is an Independent candidate from the Cumbum constituency in Tamil Nadu's Theni district. According to his affidavit, he is a Graduate working as a Self Employed Worker with declared assets of Rs. 12.72 lakhs (all movable assets, no immovable property). He has no criminal cases or liabilities declared. However, concrete information about his political career and activities remains scarce and confusing. The available electoral data shows that Cumbum is a General (non-reserved) constituency with significant political competition between DMK and AIADMK. In the 2021 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly Elections, the DMK's N. Eramakrishnan won the seat with 104,800 votes (51.81%), defeating AIADMK's S. P. M. Syed Khan who received 62,387 votes (30.84%). While sources confirm Arunkumar contested as an Independent in 2021, his specific vote count and percentage were not mentioned, suggesting a marginal performance. There is significant confusion about Arunkumar's identity in web searches. Most results reference a different politician named Arunkumar associated with AIADMK who served from Kavundampalayam Constituency and contested from Mettupalayam in the Coimbatore region. This Arunkumar campaigned among tribal communities in Anaikatti in March 2026, focusing on welfare issues. Whether this is the same person or a different politician with the same name remains unclear. No profile exists on MyNeta.info for the Cumbum Independent candidate as of early 2026. Voters should note that this candidate has minimal public visibility, no clear track record of political achievements or controversies, and very limited information available about his background, vision, or platform. His modest asset declaration of Rs. 12.72 lakhs with no immovable property and his status as a self-employed worker suggest a grassroots profile, but the absence of detailed information makes it difficult to assess his credentials or suitability for public office.
