Rajavarman.M.S.R

M. S. R. Rajavarman, 53, is an AIADMK politician from Tamil Nadu with an 8th standard education who derives income from agriculture, firecracker business, brokerage, land rentals, and a legislator's pension. His political career reached its peak in 2019 when he won the Sattur constituency by-election as an AIADMK candidate with 76,977 votes, defeating DMK's V. Srinivasan by a narrow margin of just 456 votes. However, his tenure as MLA was short-lived and marked by controversy. In 2021, Rajavarman made a significant political move by leaving AIADMK to contest from Sattur on an AMMK (Amma Vodiya Makkal Katchi) ticket. This decision proved costly—he suffered a crushing defeat, receiving only 32,916 votes (17.28% vote share) while the DMK candidate secured 74,174 votes (38.94%). The dramatic drop from 42.2% to 17.28% vote share within two years indicates substantial loss of public trust. He has now returned to AIADMK and is contesting from Tiruchuli constituency. Rajavarman's affidavit reveals serious legal concerns: he faces 2 criminal cases involving grave charges including kidnapping (IPC §365), extortion (§384, §347), cheating (§420), and wrongful confinement. These are not minor offenses but allegations of abduction and extortion that raise questions about his conduct. With declared assets of ₹16.78 crore and liabilities of ₹4.17 crore, his financial profile appears substantial for someone with limited formal education and stated professions. Voters should note that despite serving as an MLA from 2019-2021, there is virtually no available information about development work, legislative contributions, or community initiatives during his tenure. The absence of recent news coverage, combined with serious pending criminal charges and his party-switching history, presents a mixed record that warrants careful consideration.
