Party & ideology

Mohan is one of the AIADMK's 2026 first-term batch in Cuddalore district — part of EPS's organisational rebuild that paired senior strongmen with newer faces in seats where the AIADMK had narrowly lost in 2021. Panruti was held by DMK's T. Velmurugan in 2021; Mohan's flip back delivers Cuddalore (north) to the AIADMK in a year when the alliance arithmetic split the anti-DMK vote across AIADMK and TVK.
