Party & ideology

Sekar's politics is anchored in AIADMK's Kongu-belt base in Namakkal — a region long described as the party's western stronghold. The 2026 race in Paramathi-Velur was a classic three-cornered fight (AIADMK–DMK–TVK), and the 308-vote margin reflects how tight the contest stayed even as TVK swept neighbouring Namakkal seats. The AIADMK–PMK–BJP alliance helped consolidate votes in this rural-agrarian seat. Per the South First, Namakkal politics in this cycle was also shaped by long-running concerns over the kidney-trade allegations that had been a backdrop in DMK's organisational record.
