Sivakumar.A

Sivakumar.A is a 44-year-old post-graduate working as a private college teacher who is contesting from Uthiramerur constituency in Tamil Nadu on a Desiya Makkal Sakthi Katchi ticket. His declared assets stand at approximately Rs. 1.20 crores, comprising Rs. 57.32 lakhs in movable assets and Rs. 63 lakhs in immovable assets, with liabilities of Rs. 21.43 lakhs. His financial profile appears consistent with a mid-career educator with property investments and education loans or personal debts. The Desiya Makkal Sakthi Katchi, founded by M.L. Ravi in 2014, is a registered state-level party in Tamil Nadu that previously contested 35 constituencies in the 2011 assembly elections. The party gained some attention for its association with the anti-corruption NGO 5th Pillar, which campaigned using zero-rupee notes to highlight governance issues. However, the party has not secured significant electoral success in recent elections. Sivakumar.A's candidacy represents a challenge in the Uthiramerur constituency, which has traditionally been a battleground between the DMK and AIADMK. In the 2021 elections, DMK's K. Sundar won with 93,427 votes (44.38%), narrowly defeating AIADMK's V. Somasundaram who received 91,805 votes (43.61%). No candidate from Desiya Makkal Sakthi Katchi appears in documented results from recent elections in this constituency. Voters should note that despite extensive searches, there is virtually no public information available about Sivakumar.A's political activities, development work, or community engagement. He has no criminal cases declared in his affidavit and maintains a clean legal record. However, the absence of any documented political history, media coverage, or public statements makes it difficult for voters to assess his experience, vision, or capability to represent the constituency. His candidacy appears to be either a first-time political entry or reflects work at a very local grassroots level without significant public visibility.
