Vetri Vel Selvam

Vetri Vel Selvam is a 32-year-old graduate professional contesting from Perambur constituency in Tamil Nadu on a Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) ticket. Despite being a candidate in one of Chennai's politically active constituencies, he maintains virtually no public profile or media presence. Web searches reveal no records of his previous political activities, party positions, or public service initiatives, which is highly unusual for an assembly election candidate. Perambur constituency has historically been contested by major Dravidian parties, with the current MLA being R.D. Sekar from DMK who won both the 2021 by-election and regular assembly elections. The constituency has also seen representation from AIADMK's P. Vetrivel (2016-2017) and is now witnessing entry of prominent actor Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam. The BSP has traditionally had limited electoral presence in Tamil Nadu's urban constituencies. Selvam's affidavit declares total assets of just Rs. 26,500 with no immovable property, which raises questions about campaign financing and organizational support. He has declared no criminal cases and lists his profession as self-employed, though no specific business or professional activities are documented in public records. His educational qualification is listed as 'Graduate Professional' without further details. Voters should note that this candidate has no traceable public record of political work, community engagement, or development initiatives. Unlike established contestants in Perambur who have legislative experience or strong organizational backing, Selvam appears to be a newcomer with minimal resources and no documented track record in public service or activism.
