D.Chandrakandeeban

D. Chandrakandeeban, 42, is a farmer-turned-political candidate contesting from the Peravurani constituency in Tamil Nadu on a Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) ticket. With a 10th standard education, he has declared his profession as agriculture and possesses assets worth approximately Rs. 2.90 crores, including movable assets of Rs. 1.61 crores and immovable assets of Rs. 1.29 crores, along with liabilities of Rs. 39.51 lakhs. The most significant concern about Chandrakandeeban's candidacy is his declaration of 4 criminal cases, with 2 involving serious IPC charges. These include charges of cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property (§420), forgery for the purpose of cheating (§468), criminal conspiracy (§120B), cheating by personation (§419), forgery (§465), using forged documents (§471), house-trespass (§448), assault (§352), and mischief causing damage (§427). These are serious allegations involving fraud, forgery, and criminal conspiracy that voters should carefully consider. Chandrakandeeban is contesting on behalf of TVK, a newly formed political party established by actor Vijay on February 2, 2024. The party is preparing for its first electoral contest in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections and has announced it will contest all 234 seats without forming alliances. However, Chandrakandeeban himself has no discernible online presence, media coverage, or documented political history. No information is available about his work in agriculture, community service, or political activism, making it difficult for voters to assess his credentials beyond the affidavit declarations. Voters in Peravurani should note that this is an untested candidate with serious pending criminal charges involving fraud and forgery, representing a brand-new political party with no legislative track record. The constituency was won by DMK's N. Ashokkumar in 2021, and Chandrakandeeban will face established parties with experienced candidates.
