With the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections scheduled for April 23, 2026, campaigning has intensified across constituencies, even as candidates face growing scrutiny from voters on ground-level issues.
In Andipatti, sitting MLA Maharajan, who has been fielded again by the DMK from the same constituency, encountered public anger during his campaign outreach in several villages.
According to local reports, Maharajan visited areas including Kothampatti, Maniyarampatti, and Sithai Koundanpatti as part of his election campaign to seek votes. During these visits, residents reportedly gathered in large numbers and confronted him over the lack of basic infrastructure in their localities.
Villagers questioned the MLA over the absence of essential civic amenities such as drinking water supply, proper roads, and drainage systems. They stated that despite raising repeated complaints and requests over the years, no effective action had been taken to address their concerns.
The confrontation reportedly led to heated arguments, with residents expressing frustration over what they described as prolonged neglect of their villages.
The DMK has retained Maharajan as its candidate in Andipatti, signalling confidence in his electoral prospects. However, the public response during campaign visits indicates that local issues and delivery of basic services are likely to play a significant role in shaping voter sentiment in the constituency.
