Ashok Kumar G

Ashok Kumar G, 44, is contesting from the Rishivandiyam constituency in Kallakurichi district on a Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) ticket. With education up to 8th standard, he declares himself as self-employed with assets worth ₹3.69 crore and liabilities of ₹79.39 lakhs. Despite an extensive search, no verifiable information about his background, political activities, or professional work could be found online. This makes him effectively a political newcomer with no documented public record. He is contesting on the platform of TVK, a party founded in 2024 by Tamil cinema actor Vijay. The party is fighting its first assembly elections in 2026 and has positioned itself as an alternative to the established DMK and AIADMK parties. However, TVK has faced serious challenges, including the September 2025 Karur crowd crush tragedy at a party rally that killed 41 people, leading to FIRs against senior party leaders for culpable homicide and mismanagement, though Vijay himself was not named. Rishivandiyam is a Village Panchayat area in Kallakurichi district that benefits from general state and central government schemes including MGNREGA, rural healthcare initiatives, and education programs. The constituency has no documented history of development work or community initiatives specifically attributed to Ashok Kumar G. Voters should note that this candidate has no traceable political track record, public service history, or documented professional achievements. His substantial declared assets relative to his educational qualification and stated profession as 'self-employment' raise questions about the source of wealth. As a first-time candidate from a newly-formed party with no previous governance experience, voters have limited information to assess his capabilities or commitments to the constituency.
