Affidavit declares profession as 'Farming' with minimal assets (₹2.73 lakhs total). However, web search reveals this is likely K.C. Palanisamy, a veteran politician who was the youngest MLA in 1984 and later an MP. He has been in politics for over 40 years since joining AIADMK in 1972. The declared profession doesn't match his known political career and public profile.

Declared assets of only ₹2.73 lakhs (₹51,000 movable, ₹2.22 lakhs immovable) appear unusually low for a former MLA and MP with a 40-year political career. K.C. Palanisamy served in the state assembly and Parliament, positions that typically come with salaries, pensions, and benefits. The minimal asset declaration raises questions about completeness, especially given no liabilities are declared.

Achievements
• Became the youngest MLA in Tamil Nadu when elected from Kangeyam in 1984
• Won the Tiruchengode Lok Sabha seat in 1989 by a significant vote margin
• Served as Deputy District Secretary of AIADMK's Youth Wing, handpicked by Chief Minister M.G. Ramachandran
Limited recent public sentiment exists for this independent candidate. Historical records show K.C. Palanisamy was once a prominent AIADMK figure handpicked by MGR, but his recent electoral performances (665 votes in 2006, 136 votes in 1991 by-election) indicate minimal current voter support. The sand mining arrest in 2011 damaged his reputation.
