G.Chithiravelu

G. Chithiravelu is a 45-year-old advocate and Post Graduate contesting from Peravurani constituency in Thanjavur district on a Puthiya Tamilagam ticket. Despite his educational qualifications and legal profession, his public profile remains remarkably low, with no specific information available about his legal practice, community work, or political activities. His declared assets of approximately ₹37,000 with zero immovable property raise questions about his financial standing as an established advocate. Chithiravelu represents Puthiya Tamilagam (PT), a regional Dalit-focused party founded by K. Krishnasamy in 1997. The party has had a tumultuous electoral history, frequently switching alliances between DMK, AIADMK, and other fronts. While PT achieved modest success in 2011 by winning 2 assembly seats (Ottapidaram and Nilakkottai) as part of the AIADMK alliance, it has struggled independently. In the 2021 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, PT contested 55 seats independently but won none, demonstrating limited mass appeal without major party support. In Peravurani, Chithiravelu faces an uphill battle in a constituency that DMK won convincingly in 2021 with 52.40% vote share. The constituency has been a DMK-AIADMK battleground, and PT's independent stance in recent elections has yielded no parliamentary or assembly victories. No development work, government schemes, or specific achievements have been documented for Chithiravelu in the available public record. Voters should note that while Chithiravelu has no declared criminal cases and no reported controversies, information about his professional track record, community engagement, or political vision for Peravurani remains absent from public discourse. His candidacy represents Puthiya Tamilagam's continued electoral presence in Tamil Nadu, though the party's recent independent performances suggest limited organizational strength in this constituency.
