Selvam .G

Selvam G, 51, is an Independent candidate contesting from Thuraiyur (SC) constituency in Tamil Nadu. A post-graduate, he declares three professional pursuits: running a Gas Agency, engaging in Import and Export business, and Film Production. His declared assets of Rs. 6.92 crore make him a relatively wealthy candidate, though this is his first documented electoral contest with no previous election history available. His candidacy carries significant legal baggage - three criminal cases with five counts under serious IPC sections including cheating (Sec 420), criminal breach of trust (Sec 406), and criminal conspiracy (Sec 120B). These economic offense charges raise questions about his business dealings, though they remain pending cases without convictions. The nature of these charges relates to financial misconduct, which is particularly relevant given his business-oriented professional background. Thuraiyur has been a battleground between DMK and AIADMK in recent elections, with DMK's S. Stalinkumar winning in both 2016 and 2021, and AIADMK's T. Indragandhi winning in 2011. The constituency has not seen significant Independent candidate success in documented recent history. Selvam G's entry as an Independent in this two-party dominated constituency represents an uphill electoral battle. Voters should note the complete absence of any public profile, media coverage, development work, or community engagement records for this candidate. Unlike established politicians, there is no documented track record of public service, social media presence, or voter outreach. Combined with pending serious criminal charges related to financial offenses, voters in this reserved SC constituency should carefully evaluate this candidacy against candidates with established public service records.
