Thiagarajan. O. V

Thiagarajan O.V. is a 48-year-old independent candidate contesting from Usilampatti constituency in Madurai district, Tamil Nadu. He declares his profession as agriculture and has modest declared assets of Rs. 3.49 lakhs (Rs. 1.49 lakhs movable and Rs. 2 lakhs immovable) with no liabilities or criminal cases. As a graduate involved in agriculture, his asset declaration appears consistent with a small farmer's profile in rural Tamil Nadu. Usilampatti constituency has been in existence since 1957 and has traditionally been contested by major political parties. In the 2021 assembly elections, AIADMK's P. Ayyappan won with 71,255 votes (33.53%), followed by AIFB's P.V. Kathiravan with 63,778 votes (30.01%). Independent candidates in this constituency have historically struggled, with K. Arumugam receiving only 1,247 votes (0.59%) in 2021. There is virtually no public information, media coverage, or social media presence available for Thiagarajan O.V., suggesting this may be his first electoral contest or that he maintains a very low public profile. He has no documented track record of development work, public service, or political activism. Voters should be aware that as an independent candidate without party backing or established political machinery, his ability to influence policy or secure constituency development funds would be significantly limited compared to candidates from major political parties.
