S. Rajesh Kumar

S. Rajesh Kumar, 51, is an independent candidate contesting from the Perambur constituency in Tamil Nadu for the 2026 Assembly elections. According to his affidavit, he is associated with JP Plastic as his profession and has declared total assets of Rs. 95.40 lakh (movable assets of Rs. 65.40 lakh and immovable assets of Rs. 30 lakh) with liabilities of Rs. 5 lakh. He has no criminal cases registered against him. Despite filing nomination papers, there is virtually no public information, media coverage, or digital footprint available about S. Rajesh Kumar's political activities, campaign, or public service record. Web searches yielded no results linking him to any political history, community work, or organizational affiliations in Perambur. This absence of information is particularly notable given that Perambur is a high-profile, densely populated urban constituency in North Chennai that is witnessing intense political competition in 2026. The Perambur constituency is currently represented by R.D. Shekar of DMK, who won in 2021. For the 2026 elections, the seat has become a major battleground with actor-turned-politician Vijay contesting on a TVK ticket, making it one of the most watched constituencies in Tamil Nadu. The constituency has historically favored DMK, though AIADMK remains competitive. In this context, independent candidates typically face significant challenges in gaining voter attention and resources. Voters should note that while S. Rajesh Kumar has filed as an independent candidate with clean criminal records and modest financial declarations, there is no publicly available information about his political vision, past community service, development agenda, or campaign activities. This lack of public presence and documented track record makes it difficult for voters to assess his credentials or capability to represent the constituency's interests in the Assembly.
