Will Panneerselvam turn over a new leaf under the Rising Sun in Bodinayakkanur?

Former Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam, contesting the Bodinayakkanur seat for the fourth time as a DMK candidate, faces scrutiny over his past performance and lack of visible infrastructure projects despite being popular in the district. While he has received support from cardamom growers and planters who highlight welfare schemes, residents express dissatisfaction with his track record and demand better road infrastructure, sanitation, and water management solutions. The constituency's history shows a pattern of alternating victories between the AIADMK and DMK, making this election a crucial test for Panneerselvam's political future.
