Political History
2011 - Contested Viralimalai constituency for DMK; lost to AIADMK's C. Vijayabaskar (another DMK candidate S. Regupathy received 37,976 votes, 27.51%)
2016 - DMK fielded M. Palaniappan in Viralimalai who lost to C. Vijayabaskar by 8,447 votes
2021 - Contested Viralimalai for DMK; lost to C. Vijayabaskar by 23,598 votes (received 78,581 votes, 40.71%)
2025 - Receiving active campaign support from Deputy CM Udhayanidhi Stalin for upcoming election
Achievements
• Maintained consistent DMK presence in Viralimalai constituency across multiple elections, demonstrating party loyalty with no instances of party switching
• Secured backing from DMK's top leadership including active campaigning by Deputy CM Udhayanidhi Stalin who highlighted local development works in the constituency
• Associated with DMK government's welfare schemes including free bus travel for women, breakfast scheme, and the Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thogai scheme benefiting over 1.31 crore women with Rs. 5,000 transfers
Public sentiment appears cautiously supportive, with recent high-profile campaigning by Deputy CM Udhayanidhi Stalin highlighting the DMK's welfare schemes and development promises. However, Chellapandiyan has a track record of three consecutive electoral losses (2011, 2016, 2021) to the same AIADMK opponent, raising questions about his electoral viability despite party backing.
