Major discrepancy in declared assets. Affidavit shows ₹13.70 crore (movable: ₹6.43 crore, immovable: ₹7.27 crore) with liabilities of ₹6.11 crore, but web sources cite myneta.info showing 2026 assets at only ₹44.93 lakhs with liabilities of ₹3.2 lakhs. This represents a massive ~30x difference that cannot be explained. Either the affidavit has serious errors or web sources are citing outdated/incorrect data.

Affidavit declares 6 criminal cases including serious charges: bribery (§171E), criminal conspiracy (§120B), spreading dangerous disease (§270), endangering life (§336), and unlawful assembly (§189). However, web searches found no specific details, media coverage, or court records about these cases, which is unusual for a former Minister facing such serious charges including bribery.

Achievements
• Served as MLA from Thiruvallur constituency from 2011-2016
• Held multiple ministerial portfolios including Environment, Commercial Taxes, Registration, Revenue, and Milk & Dairy Development under CM Jayalalithaa
• Won Thiruvallur in 2011 with decisive 23,648-vote margin, reversing 2006 defeat
B. V. Ramanah is recognized as an experienced AIADMK politician who served as Minister under Jayalalithaa but has struggled electorally in recent years. Limited recent media coverage or public discourse suggests diminished political relevance since losing his seat in 2016, with consecutive defeats in 2021 indicating declining voter support in Thiruvallur.
