Karuthammal. S

Karuthammal S. is a 31-year-old Assistant Nurse contesting from the Harur (SC) constituency in Tamil Nadu on a Naadaalum Makkal Katchi ticket. With declared assets of Rs. 1.22 lakh and no criminal cases, she represents a grassroots candidacy with modest financial means. Her professional background in healthcare as an assistant nurse positions her as a working-class candidate from the Scheduled Caste community in a reserved constituency. Her party, Naadaalum Makkal Katchi (also known as AINMK), was founded by actor Karthik and has struggled electorally in Harur. In the 2021 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, the party's candidate secured only 14,327 votes (7.30%), finishing a distant third behind AIADMK's winning candidate V. Sampathkumar (50.46%) and CPI(M)'s A. Kumar (34.99%). The constituency has historically been contested between AIADMK, DMK, CPI(M), VCK, and PMK, with the party facing significant challenges in establishing electoral presence. No specific information about Karuthammal's political work, development initiatives, or public statements could be found in available sources. Her candidacy appears to be part of a smaller party's effort to contest in reserved constituencies, though without documented track record of community service or political activism. For voters in Harur, the lack of public information and her party's weak electoral history in the constituency are important considerations, though her healthcare background and modest asset declaration suggest a candidate rooted in the working community.
