Raja. G.

Raja G. is a 71-year-old independent candidate contesting from the Kolathur constituency in Tamil Nadu. A retired railway employee with 10th standard education, he has declared total assets of Rs. 35.12 lakhs, all in movable assets with no immovable property. His financial profile is consistent with a middle-class retiree from government service, and he has no criminal cases or liabilities declared in his affidavit. Kolathur is a high-profile urban constituency that has been represented by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin (DMK) since its creation in 2011. Stalin has won three consecutive elections from this seat with increasing vote shares - 48.35% in 2011, 54.25% in 2016, and 60.86% in 2021. Raja G. faces an uphill battle as an independent candidate against this entrenched political dominance. Despite extensive web searches, there is no available public information about Raja G.'s political career, previous electoral contests, public service record, or community involvement. His social media presence and public profile appear to be minimal or non-existent. This lack of visibility is typical for independent candidates in constituencies dominated by major Dravidian parties. Voters should note that while Raja G. presents as a clean candidate with no criminal record and modest financial standing, there is no documented evidence of his political experience, policy positions, or vision for Kolathur. His candidacy appears to be that of a first-time independent contender in one of Tamil Nadu's most politically significant constituencies.
