Party & ideology

Rajmohan's profile — young, media-fluent, SC-reserved-seat winner — fits TVK's brand: a generational changeover from the older Dravidian establishment, anchored in social-justice and direct constituent engagement. His campaign's 'one tree per vote' line and the digital-help-centre commitment signal the constituency-first style TVK has projected into Chennai's working-class neighbourhoods.

Notable statements

People, so far, listened to us. Now we want to listen to them. A digital help-centre forum will be set up so every resident has a direct line to the office.— Rajmohan · TVK candidate · pre-poll interview to The Hindu
