Manila. S

Manila. S, 42, is contesting from the HARUR (SC) reserved constituency in Tamil Nadu on a Tamizhaga Vaazhvurimai Katchi (TVMK) ticket. A 10th pass declaring 'Wage' as profession, Manila has declared assets worth Rs. 34.86 lakhs with liabilities of Rs. 18 lakhs. The affidavit shows one criminal case involving charges under IPC sections 191(2) for rioting and 126(2) for wrongful restraint, though these are not classified as serious charges. TVMK, founded by T. Velmurugan, is a relatively small political outfit that recently exited the DMK alliance ahead of the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections due to seat-sharing disagreements. In the 2021 elections, HARUR (SC) was won by V. Sampathkumar of AIADMK with 99,061 votes (50.46%), while CPI(M)'s A. Kumar secured 68,699 votes (34.99%). There is no record of TVMK contesting this seat in 2021. Web searches reveal no information about Manila's political activities, development work, public statements, or community engagement. There is no media coverage, social media presence, or documented track record available for assessment. This lack of public visibility and information makes it difficult for voters to evaluate the candidate's credentials or plans for the constituency. Voters should note that this appears to be a first-time candidate from a smaller party with no established presence in the constituency, facing incumbents from major Dravidian and Left parties with established organizational strength in Harur.
