Sivaraman. T

Sivaraman. T, 48, is an agricultural laborer contesting from the Nannilam constituency in Tamil Nadu on a Tamizhaga Vaazhvurimai Katchi (TVK) ticket. He has completed 12th standard education and declares assets worth Rs. 14.53 lakhs with no liabilities. His declared profession as an agriculture coolie and modest asset declaration suggest a working-class background uncommon among mainstream candidates. Tamizhaga Vaazhvurimai Katchi was founded in 2012 by T. Velmurugan after he left the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK). The party has positioned itself around Tamil identity, social justice, and regional development issues. Velmurugan himself has served three terms in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, winning from Panruti in 2001, 2006, and most recently in 2021 as a DMK candidate. In early 2026, ahead of the state assembly elections, TVK made headlines by exiting the DMK-led alliance due to disagreements over seat-sharing and unmet demands including a caste census and reservation for the Vanniyar community. The party has ruled out joining the NDA and indicated plans to align with like-minded Tamil and Periyarist groups. This political realignment adds uncertainty to the party's electoral prospects. Voters should note that no specific information about Sivaraman's individual political work, community activities, or track record in Nannilam could be found in available sources. His candidacy represents TVK's grassroots approach, fielding candidates from working-class backgrounds, but his ability to address local issues or his experience in public service remains undocumented in public records.
