M. Tamilselvam

M. Tamilselvam is a 51-year-old independent candidate contesting from the Perambur constituency in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. He declares his profession as an electrician with basic education up to 5th standard. His declared assets stand at Rs. 45,000, consisting entirely of movable assets with no immovable property declared. He has no criminal cases registered against him and no liabilities. There is significant ambiguity about this candidate's public profile, as web searches primarily return information about a different person—Tamilselvan M, a 45-year-old advocate who contested from Perambalur (not Perambur) constituency in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. No verifiable media coverage, public statements, social media presence, or political history could be found specifically for M. Tamilselvam from Perambur constituency. Perambur is a legislative assembly constituency in Chennai that has recently gained attention due to actor Vijay's entry into politics ahead of the 2026 assembly elections. The constituency has historically alternated between DMK and AIADMK, with DMK's R.D. Sekar winning in both 2021 and the 2019 by-election. The area faces long-standing civic issues including infrastructure neglect and development challenges. Voters should note that this candidate has minimal to no verifiable public record or media presence. The extremely modest declared assets and lack of immovable property may reflect either genuine modest circumstances or incomplete disclosure. As an independent candidate without party backing or visible campaign infrastructure, his electoral prospects appear limited in a constituency dominated by major Dravidian parties.
