Romanraj. A

Romanraj A, 48, is an independent candidate from the Mylapore constituency in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. A 12th pass with business as his declared profession, he has declared assets worth ₹17.11 lakhs (all movable) with liabilities of ₹3 lakhs and no criminal cases. However, extensive searches reveal no public record of his political activities, business ventures, community work, or previous electoral participation. Mylapore is a prestigious urban constituency in Chennai with a politically aware electorate that has traditionally supported major Dravidian parties. In the 2021 election, DMK's Dha. Velu won with 68,392 votes (44.95%), defeating AIADMK's R. Nataraj. The 2026 election is expected to be highly competitive with heavyweight candidates including BJP's Tamilisai Soundararajan (former Telangana Governor) and the DMK incumbent. Independent candidates in Mylapore have historically struggled, with most receiving less than 2% of votes in recent elections. Romanraj's complete absence from public discourse, media coverage, social media, or local political circles raises questions about the seriousness and viability of his candidacy. Unlike other independent candidates who often have grassroots movements, social causes, or local recognition, no information about his business background, community connections, or reasons for entering politics could be found. Voters in Mylapore should be aware that this appears to be a candidate with minimal to no established political presence or public engagement in the constituency.
