Party & ideology

Rajasekar's selection reflected AIADMK's 2026 attempt to retain its SC vote bank in the metropolitan-fringe corridor with a businessman-organiser rather than a career politician — a strategy that delivered Cheyyur but at a 5,668-vote margin in a fragmented SC field. His profile, with Rs 68.63 crore in declared assets and Rs 24.05 crore in liabilities, is among the wealthiest in the 2026 AIADMK slate.
