Critical mismatch: Affidavit declares profession as 'Wages' (wage laborer) with 8th Pass education and ₹5.72 lakh assets. Web search reveals a completely different person - C. Mahendran is an M.A. Economics graduate, former MP (2014-2019), current MLA from Madathukulam since 2021, and agriculturist. This appears to be either a case of mistaken identity or incomplete affidavit disclosure.

AIADMK · Won in 2021
Declared assets of ₹5.72 lakh appear impossibly low for someone who has been an MP and MLA. MPs receive salaries of ₹1 lakh+ per month plus allowances. Even after liabilities of ₹12.21 lakh, the total net worth seems inconsistent with someone who held parliamentary office (2014-2019) and legislative assembly position (2021-present). Without previous affidavit data for comparison, current declaration raises serious questions about asset disclosure accuracy.
