Perumal Munusamy. M.

Perumal Munusamy (M.), 43, is an Independent candidate contesting from the Palacode Assembly constituency in Tamil Nadu. A graduate professional engaged in farming, he has declared total assets of Rs. 38.96 lakhs with liabilities of Rs. 20.50 lakhs. Despite his candidacy, virtually no public information exists about his political background, community work, or public service record. Palacode constituency, located in Dharmapuri district, has traditionally been a battleground between major Dravidian parties. In the 2016 elections, AIADMK's K. P. Anbalagan won with 76,143 votes (40.34%) against DMK's P. K. Murugan. Historical records show that an M. B. Munusamy contested as an Independent from Palacode in 1989 but lost, and another M. B. Munusamy won from Palacode on an AIADMK ticket in 1980 with 38,999 votes (52.36%). Perumal Munusamy has no documented social media presence, public statements, or media coverage. Web searches found no information about his political activities, development initiatives, or community engagement. This absence of public record makes it challenging for voters to evaluate his positions on local issues, governance plans, or track record of public service. Voters should note that as an Independent candidate with no visible political history or public profile, Perumal Munusamy faces an uphill battle in a constituency historically dominated by established parties. His declared profession as a farmer and moderate asset base suggest a grassroots background, but the complete lack of documented public activities, electoral history, or stated policy positions leaves voters with minimal information to make an informed choice.
