Gurusamy.T

Gurusamy.T is a 54-year-old independent politician contesting from the Tiruchuli Assembly constituency in Tamil Nadu. With only a 5th-grade education, he identifies his profession as agriculture and has declared assets worth ₹2.91 crore, including substantial landholdings valued at ₹2.54 crore. Despite his wealth, he remains a political outlier with negligible electoral impact. His candidacy is significantly overshadowed by serious criminal charges including attempt to murder (IPC 307), causing hurt with dangerous weapons (IPC 324), and rioting with deadly weapons (IPC 147, 148). Gurusamy.T has contested as an independent candidate in both 2016 and 2021 Assembly elections from Tiruchuli, a constituency that falls under the Tiruchirappalli Lok Sabha seat. In 2016, he secured merely 1,074 votes (0.64%), finishing sixth. His 2021 performance showed marginal improvement with 2,492 votes (1.45%), moving up to fifth position, but still representing less than 2% of the electorate. Both elections were convincingly won by DMK's Thangam Thennarasu, a senior minister in the Tamil Nadu government. The candidate has no visible political infrastructure, party affiliation, or public engagement. No MyNeta.info profile with detailed affidavit information was accessible through web searches, and there is zero social media presence or media coverage of his campaigns or activities. His repeated independent candidacies appear more symbolic than strategic, with no grassroots organization or issue-based platform evident in public records. Voters should know that Gurusamy.T faces serious criminal allegations involving violence, including attempt to murder, which remain unaddressed in public discourse. His substantial assets raise questions about income sources relative to his educational background and declared agricultural profession. With no track record of public service, policy positions, or community engagement, and less than 2% vote share historically, he represents a fringe candidacy rather than a viable alternative in Tiruchuli's political landscape.
