Sudaroli S.Murugan Yadhav

Sudaroli S. Murugan Yadhav is a 48-year-old independent candidate from Nanguneri constituency in Tamil Nadu, declaring agriculture as his profession. Despite his affidavit listing him as independent, sources indicate some historical affiliation with the Indian National Congress. He holds a graduate professional degree and has declared total assets of Rs 89.52 lakh (movable assets of Rs 57.52 lakh and immovable assets of Rs 32 lakh) with liabilities of Rs 15.20 lakh. Yadhav's electoral history shows persistent but unsuccessful attempts to win the Nanguneri seat. He contested as an independent candidate in both the 2011 and 2016 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly elections, receiving exactly 2,207 votes in both contests—a statistically unusual coincidence that suggests a static voter base. In 2011, he finished third, but by 2016, despite the same vote count, he dropped to fourth place as other candidates gained ground. A significant concern for voters is the criminal case declared in his affidavit. He faces charges under five IPC sections including cheating by personation (§419), criminal breach of trust (§406), falsification of accounts (§477A), concealing design to commit an offense (§120), and abetment (§109). These are serious economic offenses related to financial fraud and breach of trust. No media coverage or public documentation of these charges could be found in web searches. Voters should note that Yadhav has virtually no public profile beyond his electoral participation. There is no available information about development work, community service, or specific policy positions. His stagnant vote share over multiple elections and serious pending criminal charges involving financial misconduct are important factors to consider. As an independent candidate without party backing, his ability to deliver on constituency needs would be limited even if elected.
