Mohanraj has a documented history of filing false affidavits regarding assets. In 2009, he admitted to overstating his assets as Rs. 1,977 crore in protest against other candidates understating theirs. In 2019, he filed an affidavit claiming Rs. 1.76 lakh crore in cash and a Rs. 4 lakh crore World Bank loan, which was accepted by the Election Commission despite being obviously fabricated. While his current declared assets of Rs. 1.83 crore appear reasonable for a pensioner, this pattern of filing misleading financial declarations raises concerns about the reliability of his affidavit data.

Mohanraj Jebamani is viewed as a persistent activist and serial election contestant with minimal electoral success. While his background in law enforcement (including the Rajiv Gandhi assassination probe) commands some respect, he's better known for filing numerous PILs on public interest issues and for his controversial practice of submitting wildly exaggerated asset declarations to protest electoral transparency issues.
