Dr.A.V.Narendran

Dr. A.V. Narendran, 43, is a Siddha doctor practicing privately in Tiruttani, Tamil Nadu. He made a significant electoral debut in the 2021 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly elections as an Independent candidate, securing 91,061 votes (39.43%) in the Tiruttani constituency—a remarkable achievement for a non-party candidate in a state dominated by Dravidian parties. Despite this strong showing, he lost to DMK's S. Chandran, who won with 120,314 votes (52.09%). Financially, Dr. Narendran has declared total assets of Rs. 42.20 lakhs (Rs. 30 lakhs movable and Rs. 12.20 lakhs immovable) with zero liabilities. His asset declaration appears consistent with his profession as a private Siddha medical practitioner. He has a clean criminal record with no cases declared in his affidavit, and no controversies or legal issues were found in media searches. Dr. Narendran maintains a notably low public profile with no identifiable social media presence, public statements, or media interviews available online. This minimal outreach contrasts with his relatively strong electoral performance in 2021. As an Independent candidate without party machinery, his near-40% vote share suggests considerable grassroots support in Tiruttani, though the reasons for this local appeal remain undocumented in public sources. Voters should note that while Dr. Narendran has a clean record and demonstrated electoral viability, there is limited public information about his policy positions, development plans, or track record in public service. His status as an Independent means he would lack party support for implementing constituency development programs if elected.
