Rhevanth Charan

Rhevanth Charan is a 30-year-old postgraduate contesting from Madhuravoyal constituency on a Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) ticket in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. He has declared professional involvement in consultancy and investment businesses spanning film exhibition, real estate, and hospitality sectors, with total assets of ₹22.42 crores and liabilities of ₹8.31 crores. His candidacy is part of TVK's ambitious plan to contest all 234 seats in the state, marking the party's electoral debut under the leadership of popular actor Vijay, who founded TVK on February 2, 2024. TVK has positioned itself as a third-front alternative to the established DMK and AIADMK parties, promoting secularism, social justice, and egalitarianism while drawing on the ideologies of Periyar, Ambedkar, and Kamaraj. The party claims over 15 million members and has demonstrated significant grassroots support, with rallies in Madurai drawing lakhs of supporters in August 2025. However, the party's trajectory has been marred by the tragic September 27, 2025 stampede at Vijay's Karur rally that killed 41 people and injured around 100 others, leading to FIRs against senior party leaders including General Secretary N. Anand for culpable homicide and endangering lives. While specific information about Rhevanth Charan's individual political activities, development work, or community engagement in Madhuravoyal remains unavailable in public sources, voters should note that he is entering electoral politics as a first-time candidate with a new political party. His substantial declared wealth at age 30 and professional background in diverse business sectors including film exhibition and real estate set him apart from typical first-time candidates. As a TVK candidate, he is associated with the party's strong criticism of both the DMK government's alleged corruption in Tasmac liquor sales and the BJP's attempts to impose Hindi, though his personal positions and local constituency work remain undocumented in available sources.
