Dr.G. Moorthy

Dr. G. Moorthy, 46, is contesting as an Independent candidate from Perambur constituency in Tamil Nadu. He previously served as a Member of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly from Tiruporur constituency between 2006 and 2011 on a Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) ticket. According to available records, Moorthy completed a diploma in Civil Engineering at Central Polytechnic College, Chennai, before entering politics, though his current affidavit declares a Doctorate degree—a discrepancy that requires clarification. During his tenure as MLA from 2006-2011, Moorthy represented the Tiruporur constituency as part of the PMK alliance. After his single term, he did not contest subsequent elections from that constituency. His decision to now contest as an Independent from Perambur—a different constituency altogether—marks a significant shift in his political journey, both geographically and in terms of party affiliation. The reasons for leaving PMK and choosing Perambur are not documented in available sources. Moorthy's current affidavit lists his profession as 'Professional Research Advisor and Proprietorship (Conquer Technologies, Chennai)' with assets worth approximately ₹2.88 crore and liabilities of ₹45.58 lakh. However, no online presence of 'Conquer Technologies' or evidence of research advisory work could be found. His affidavit shows zero criminal cases, which is positive. The constituency he's contesting, Perambur, has seen infrastructure development including the upgrade of Perambur railway station under the 'Amrit Bharat' scheme. Voters should note that while Moorthy has legislative experience from his 2006-2011 term, there is virtually no information available about his work during that period, his reasons for not contesting for over a decade, or his current political platform and promises for Perambur. The absence of any social media presence, recent news coverage, or documented public engagement raises questions about his campaign strategy and voter outreach. His educational qualification discrepancy and undocumented business ventures also warrant voter scrutiny.
