Party & ideology

Harish is part of TVK's young, professionally trained cohort — engineer-and-lawyer profile, family-trust background, no prior partisan record — fielded in suburban Chennai-Chengalpattu seats. The Alandur margin of nearly 30,000 in a constituency that was held by DMK heavyweight T. M. Anbarasan illustrated the depth of TVK's southern Chennai sweep.
