As campaigning kicks off for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Tamil Nadu, Congress MP Jyotimani finds herself under scrutiny in her bid for reelection from the Karur constituency. The incumbent MP, contesting once again under the DMK alliance, faced tough questions from constituents during her campaign in Kodankipatti Adi Dravidar residential area.
A woman, holding an aarti plate, confronted Jyotimani, questioning her absence, over the past five years and expressing skepticism about her sudden appearance seeking votes. She said, “I haven’t seen you for five years. Never came here. Now you have come only to ask for votes.” The exchange caused a stir, with DMK officials intervening to defuse the situation.
Jyotimani responded, “I’ve been actively participating in Parliament, raising questions, and advocating for people’s issues.” She defended her record amidst the scrutiny.

As the election season progresses, the incident highlights the challenges facing incumbents seeking reelection and underscores the importance of accountability and responsiveness to constituents’ concerns.
The outcome of the elections will ultimately determine whether Jyotimani secures another term as the Karur Member of Parliament.
Earlier, incumbent DMK MPs Tamizhachi Thangapandian from South Chennai, Dayanidhi Maran from Central Chennai constituency, and Kalanidhi Veerasamy from North Chennai constituency also faced the ire of the public who questioned their long absence and expressed their disappointment over unfulfilled promises. Tamizhachi Thangapandian was sent back by the people in the Mylapore locality while Maran faced public ire in the Lock Nagar area. Kalanidhi Veerasamy was questioned as to why the people of Korattur were not given relief during the floods.
