Party & ideology

Thennarasu represents TVK's organisational backbone in the western Kancheepuram industrial belt — district-secretary track rather than the lateral-entry professional cohort. The Sriperumbudur win is one of TVK's marquee ones because it unseated the sitting TNCC president (and DMK ally) K. Selvaperunthagai in an SC-reserved constituency that was widely tipped to stay with the INDIA bloc. His ECI affidavit lists pending criminal cases relating to public-protest sections (IPC 353 and BNS 126(2), 189(2), 223) — typical of long-running party-organiser activity; their judicial status is per the standard affidavit disclaimer.
