Ranjithkumar Balusamy

Ranjithkumar Balusamy is a 30-year-old agriculturist and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) candidate contesting from the Karaikudi Assembly constituency in Tamil Nadu. He made his electoral debut in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, contesting from the Sivaganga parliamentary constituency (which includes Karaikudi) at age 28, but was unsuccessful, receiving only a small percentage of votes. His declared assets are extremely modest at Rs. 30,000, consisting entirely of movable assets with no immovable property, and he has declared no liabilities or criminal cases. There is a notable discrepancy in his educational qualifications across official records: while his current affidavit declares him as a 'Graduate Professional', his 2024 Lok Sabha election affidavit listed him as '12th Pass'. Both affidavits consistently identify his profession as agriculture. His financial profile indicates he comes from a humble economic background, though the minimal asset declaration is unusual even for someone in agriculture. Ranjithkumar Balusamy has no visible public profile, social media presence, or recorded public statements. There is no information available about any development work, community initiatives, or political activities beyond his electoral contests. He has remained with the BSP throughout his brief political career with no record of party switches. The BSP, founded by Kanshi Ram and led by Mayawati, focuses on representing marginalized communities including Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes. Voters should know that this candidate is a political newcomer with no established track record in governance, development, or public service. His extremely low asset declaration and lack of public engagement raise questions about his capacity to effectively represent the constituency. With no available information on his vision, policy positions, or community work, voters have limited basis to assess his potential effectiveness as a representative.
