Significant discrepancy between affidavit data and web search results for the same 2024 election. Affidavit declares total assets of Rs. 40.93 lakh (Rs. 6.43 lakh movable, Rs. 34.50 lakh immovable) with zero liabilities. However, web sources report total assets of Rs. 2.3 crore (Rs. 29.1 lakh movable, Rs. 2.1 crore immovable) with Rs. 16.1 lakh liabilities for the same candidate in the same election. This represents a 461% difference in total assets (Rs. 40.93 lakh vs Rs. 2.3 crore), which requires clarification.

2024 - Contested Pollachi Lok Sabha constituency as Independent candidate, secured 281,335 votes (24.98%), lost to DMK's K. Eswarasamy
2024 - First documented major electoral contest at parliamentary level
Achievements
• Secured 24.98% vote share (281,335 votes) as an Independent candidate in 2024 Pollachi Lok Sabha elections, demonstrating significant grassroots support without party machinery
• Maintained clean record with zero criminal cases throughout political career
Karthikeyan P is viewed as a political outsider who made a surprisingly strong showing as an Independent candidate, securing nearly 25% of votes in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. However, his limited public visibility, minimal social media presence, and lack of established party machinery resulted in a loss to the DMK candidate. His electoral performance suggests a notable voter base but insufficient support to challenge major party candidates.
