Vidiyal S. Sekar

Vidiyal S. Sekar is a 58-year-old BJP politician and advocate contesting from Oddanchatram constituency in Dindigul district, Tamil Nadu. With a post-graduate education and professional background as an advocate, he also receives ex-MLA pension, though details of when he served as an MLA are not clearly documented in available records. He has declared assets worth approximately Rs. 18.74 crores, including movable assets of Rs. 3.53 crores and immovable assets of Rs. 15.21 crores, with liabilities of Rs. 99 lakhs. His affidavit shows no criminal cases. Sekar's electoral track record reveals significant challenges in this DMK-dominated constituency. In the 2021 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly elections, he contested as the BJP candidate but secured only 1,909 votes, representing just 1.01% of the total votes cast. The election was won decisively by DMK's R. Sakkarapani with 109,970 votes (54.90%), while AIADMK's N.P. Nataraj came second with 81,228 votes (40.55%). Sekar finished with a massive deficit of 65,727 votes from the winner, highlighting the BJP's marginal presence in this constituency. There is virtually no public information available about Sekar's specific contributions, development work, or political activities. He has no dedicated Wikipedia page, no verifiable social media presence, and no media coverage regarding his work or statements. No controversies, corruption allegations, or legal issues have been reported about him in news sources. His professional practice as an advocate and his status as an ex-MLA pensioner suggest prior legislative experience, though the timing and constituency of that service remain unclear from available records. Voters should know that Vidiyal Sekar represents a party with historically weak electoral performance in Tamil Nadu, particularly in this constituency. While his clean legal record and professional credentials as an advocate are positive factors, his lack of public visibility, absence of documented achievements, and poor electoral showing in 2021 raise questions about his political viability and ability to effectively represent the constituency.
