Jakirusan.D

Jakirusan.D is a 54-year-old candidate contesting from the Uthiramerur constituency in Tamil Nadu on a Tamizhaga Vaazhvurimai Katchi (TVK) ticket. He operates a juice business and has declared total assets of Rs. 7.10 lakhs, with no liabilities. His education status is listed as 'Literate' in his affidavit. The candidate has one pending criminal case under Section 351(3) IPC, which pertains to threatening to cause death or grievous hurt. The Tamizhaga Vaazhvurimai Katchi, founded by T. Velmurugan in 2012, is a regional party that emphasizes Tamil identity, social justice, and regional development. The party advocates for farmers' rights, youth empowerment, education, and Tamil cultural preservation. For the 2026 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly elections, TVK has announced ambitious plans to contest 170 constituencies, positioning itself as an alternative to the traditional DMK-AIADMK dominance in the state. In the 2021 elections, the Uthiramerur constituency was won by DMK's K. Sundar with 93,427 votes (44.38%), narrowly defeating AIADMK's V. Somasundaram by just 1,622 votes. The constituency has historically been a closely contested seat. Notably, web searches revealed confusion about TVK's candidate for Uthiramerur, with some sources listing J. Munirathinam instead of Jakirusan.D, suggesting possible internal party dynamics or recent candidate changes. Voters should note that this candidate has virtually no public media presence, social media footprint, or documented track record in public service or politics. With minimal assets, a pending criminal case involving threatening behavior, and no verifiable history of community work or political achievement, voters have limited information to assess his capabilities or intentions. The lack of transparency and public engagement raises questions about accountability and readiness for legislative responsibility.
