M. Kadhiravan

M. Kadhiravan is a 58-year-old Independent candidate contesting from the Perambur constituency in Tamil Nadu. A 12th pass with declared assets of Rs. 38.74 lakhs (entirely movable assets with no immovable property), he identifies as self-employed. His affidavit shows no liabilities and no criminal cases, presenting a clean legal record. Perambur is a Legislative Assembly constituency in Chennai, part of the Chennai North Lok Sabha constituency, and has historically been a DMK stronghold. The constituency has seen DMK's R.D. Sekar win convincingly in both the 2021 assembly election (52.93% vote share) and the 2019 by-election (56.32% vote share). Independent candidates have occasionally contested from Perambur, with notable historical examples including Sathyavani Muthu, a prominent DMK leader who won as an Independent in 1957, and V. Mahenathan who secured 12.91% votes as an Independent in 1989. Despite extensive searches, no public information could be found about Kadhiravan's political activities, previous electoral contests, development work, or community engagement in Perambur. There is no evidence of social media presence, news coverage, or voter discussions about this candidate. The absence of any digital footprint or media mentions suggests either a very low-profile campaign or a first-time contestant with minimal public engagement. Voters should note that this candidate appears to be running with no visible public campaign presence or documented track record. With modest declared assets and no property ownership, combined with zero media visibility in a constituency facing significant civic challenges around drainage, housing, and employment, voters may want to seek direct engagement with the candidate to understand their platform and vision for Perambur's development.
