Achievements
• Represents a party (NTK) that significantly increased its vote share in Madurai West from 1.88% (2016) to 9.12% (2021), indicating growing grassroots support
• Part of NTK's advocacy for local issues including incomplete infrastructure projects, sewer problems, and absence of ration shops in peripheral areas of Madurai West
Public sentiment toward Vigneshkumar is predominantly negative due to the serious sexual assault allegations in August 2024 that led to his arrest. While NTK as a party has gained traction among youth and Tamil nationalist voters, Vigneshkumar's personal reputation has been severely damaged by the criminal case. The party itself faces mixed reviews—praised by some for Tamil-centric politics but criticized for allegedly cyberbullying opponents and aggressive protest tactics.
