Party & ideology
Haribaskar's profile fits AIADMK's 2026 strategy of fielding younger first-time candidates from rural-agrarian constituencies in the Kongu belt. Anthiyur had been won by DMK's N. D. Venkatachalam in 2021 — by a 1,275-vote margin over AIADMK's K. S. Shanmugavel. Haribaskar flipped the seat back to AIADMK in a near-mirror-image margin (1,260 votes) in 2026, with the AIADMK–PMK–BJP alliance helping consolidate the rural backward-class vote against the DMK and TVK.
