Tamil Nadu election 2026: Andipatti constituency people’s woes remain unresolved

The Andipatti Assembly Constituency in Theni district of Tamil Nadu is facing a fierce contest between the incumbent DMK MLA A. Maharajan and the AIADMK candidate A. Logirajan. While Maharajan has implemented welfare programs and infrastructure development, an AIADMK functionary argues that corruption within the DMK has alienated voters. The election is expected to be a close one, with both parties relying on their legacy of MGR and Jayalalithaa's work in the region. The outcome will likely hinge on voter sentiment towards the two Dravidian parties and their performance on local issues such as tourism and crime prevention.
