Affidavit declares 'Agriculture' as profession with only Rs. 12,000 in total assets, but web sources indicate he has been a full-time politician since age 23, serving as DMK Union Secretary (2000), elected Councillor (2001), and contested as independent in 2021 Assembly elections. His wife is listed as a dentist. The declared profession doesn't match his documented political career spanning two decades.

Total declared assets of only Rs. 12,000 (with zero immovable property) appear impossibly low for a 39-year-old graduate who has been politically active for 17+ years, contested major elections, and is married to a dentist. Even basic agricultural equipment, land, or household possessions would typically exceed this amount. The extremely low asset declaration raises questions about accuracy and completeness of disclosure.

Achievements
• Won local body elections in 2001 as Councillor for Edanganni and Chindamani wards
• Secured 93,624 votes (43.16%) as independent candidate in 2021 Assembly elections, demonstrating significant grassroots support
• Finished competitively in 2021 Jayankondam race, losing by only 5,452 votes in a three-way contest against established DMK and PMK candidates
Kannan has limited public visibility as an independent candidate with minimal documented social media presence or public discourse. His 2021 performance was notable—securing 93,624 votes (43.16%) and finishing third, only 5,452 votes behind the winner—suggesting some grassroots support despite losing. However, there is virtually no documented public sentiment, media coverage, or voter feedback available about his current political standing.
