Ayoob Riyas

Ayoob Riyas, 36, is an Independent candidate from Singanallur constituency in Tamil Nadu's Coimbatore district. He declares his profession as 'Business' with post-graduate education and assets worth Rs. 21.97 lakh, all in movable assets with no immovable property. However, extensive web searches reveal no public information about his business activities, political background, or community involvement. This lack of digital footprint is unusual for candidates in Singanallur, an urban constituency that includes Coimbatore International Airport, TIDEL Park, and other major landmarks. Singanallur has historically been contested by major parties like AIADMK, DMK, and others, with the current MLA being K.R. Jayaram of AIADMK who won in 2021. The constituency is considered politically significant in Coimbatore district. Riyas's candidature as an Independent appears to be his first major political venture, though no previous electoral history or political activities could be verified. Voters should note that despite declaring business as his profession, no details about his business interests or community work are available in public records. His financial declaration shows moderate assets of around 22 lakh rupees with zero liabilities and no criminal cases. The absence of any media coverage, social media presence, or public activities raises questions about his preparation for representing this important urban constituency.
