Affidavit declares profession as 'Driver' for T.Vengateshsan, but all web search results refer to T. Velmurugan as the founder and leader of Tamizhaga Vaazhvurimai Katchi, a prominent politician and former MLA. There appears to be confusion between two different individuals - the candidate T.Vengateshsan (48, 5th Pass, Driver) and party leader T. Velmurugan (born 1970, MLA multiple times). The declared profession 'Driver' doesn't match the political prominence associated with the party name in search results.

Achievements
• Party founder T. Velmurugan has won four Legislative Assembly elections (1996, 2001, 2006, 2021) from Panruti constituency
• The party has taken proactive stands on social justice issues, including approaching Supreme Court seeking special law against honor killings after Dalit techie's murder in Tirunelveli
• Successfully established an independent political identity after breaking from both PMK (2012) and DMK alliance (2025), maintaining focus on Tamil identity and regional development
Public sentiment around Tamizhaga Vaazhvurimai Katchi is mixed, centered primarily on party founder T. Velmurugan's exit from the DMK alliance and actor Vijay's emergence with similarly-named Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK). The party positions itself on Tamil identity and social justice issues, but faces scrutiny over political alliances and organizational clarity.
