Oorvasi Amirtharaj. S

Oorvasi S. Amirtharaj, 42, is a postgraduate businessman-turned-politician who serves as the Indian National Congress MLA for Srivaikuntam constituency in Tamil Nadu since 2021. He comes from a political family—his father, Oorvasi D. Selvaraj, previously served as MLA from the same constituency from 2006 to 2009. In his professional capacity, Amirtharaj serves as Director of four companies under the Rajam Group: Rajam Industries Pvt Ltd, Rajam Hotels Pvt Ltd, Rajam Foods Pvt Ltd, and Rajam Resorts Pvt Ltd, with declared assets of approximately Rs. 94.89 crores. In the 2021 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly elections, Amirtharaj secured victory with 76,843 votes (46.75% vote share), defeating AIADMK's S.P. Shunmuganathan by a margin of 17,372 votes. His win came in a multi-cornered contest that also included candidates from NTK, AMMK, and MNM. The victory marked his entry into electoral politics and continued the Congress party's presence in the constituency. Amirtharaj's tenure as MLA has been notably low-profile, with minimal documented public statements, social media presence, or media coverage of constituency development work. His affidavit shows zero criminal cases, and no controversies or corruption allegations have surfaced in public records as of early 2026. The Indian National Congress has renominated him for the 2026 elections, suggesting internal party confidence in his performance. Voters should know that while Amirtharaj maintains a clean legal record and comes from substantial business background, there is limited publicly available information about his specific legislative achievements, constituency development projects, or engagement with public issues during his current term. His family's political legacy in Srivaikuntam and his business experience form the foundation of his political profile, but his impact as an MLA remains largely undocumented in accessible public sources.
