Purusothaman. M

Purusothaman. M, 43, is an Independent candidate contesting from the Polur constituency in Tamil Nadu. He declares his profession as 'Agriculture' and holds a graduate professional degree. His declared assets are remarkably modest at just Rs. 63,257 in movable assets with zero immovable property and no liabilities. However, web records indicate that someone identified as S. C. Purushothaman contested the 2006 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election from Polur as a Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) candidate, securing 6,867 votes (5.52% vote share) and finishing third in the race. In the 2006 election, he was significantly defeated by P. S. Vijayakumar of the Indian National Congress who won with 58,595 votes (47.08%), while AIADMK's T. Vediyappan came second with 51,051 votes (41.02%). The wide margin suggests limited voter appeal and an inability to compete with major Dravidian parties that dominate Tamil Nadu politics. His vote share of just over 5% indicates he was unable to build a significant support base even nearly two decades ago. Currently, there is virtually no public information, media coverage, or online presence associated with Purusothaman. No social media profiles, recent interviews, public statements, or community engagement activities could be identified. There is no evidence of development work, local initiatives, or constituency service that would typically be expected from someone seeking public office. The search results yielded no information about his activities between 2006 and the current election. Voters should note the significant concerns: the discrepancy between his declared profession of 'Agriculture' and documented political activities; extraordinarily low declared assets despite nearly two decades of adult life and political involvement; zero land ownership despite claiming agriculture as profession; complete absence of public visibility or community engagement; and no documented achievements or development work in the Polur constituency. The lack of transparency and minimal information available raises questions about his preparedness and seriousness as a candidate for public office.
