Paramathi-Velur — AIADMK's Sekar holds on, one of the tightest fights of 2026
Paramathi-Velur has gone to the AIADMK in three of the four elections since 2011 and to the DMK only once — Thaniyarasu (AIADMK) 2011, K. S. Moorthiy (DMK) 2016 by 818, S. Sekar (AIADMK) 2021 by 7,662. Sekar held it in 2026 against the same Moorthiy, but the margin collapsed to 308 votes.

About Paramathi-Velur
Paramathi-Velur (AC 95) is a Namakkal-district seat strung along the north bank of the Cauvery, where the Velur bridge crosses into Karur district. The constituency takes in Mohanur, Paramathi town and a stretch of the river that has supported the Bhimeshwarar and Kalyana Venkatramanar temples for centuries.
This is the dense core of Namakkal's poultry country — India's second-largest egg-producing belt at roughly 3 crore eggs a day, with 29 million birds in the district. Above it all, the Anjaneyar monolith and old fort rock at Namakkal frame the skyline.
Paramathi-Velur & the Cauvery bend
Drive the Velur bridge across the Cauvery for one of the river's quieter bends, then stop at Mohanur's Achaladeepeswarar and Kalyana Venkatramanar temples on the north bank. Push on to Paramathi's Bhimeshwarar shrine, and end at Namakkal's Anjaneyar monolith below the old hill fort. Poultry farms line the road in between — the smell tells you where you are.
