Will pendulum effect hold true for Krishnagiri constituency this election?

Krishnagiri, a district without direct rail connectivity to the state capital, faces ongoing issues including a lack of infrastructure and a controversial toll plaza. The constituency is predominantly known for its mango cultivation but farmers are unhappy with fixed pulp prices set by industry consortiums. This year's election pits the AIADMK against the Congress under the DMK-led alliance, with incumbent MLA K. Ashok Kumar from the AIADMK facing off against former MP A. Chellakumar of the Congress. The contest is expected to be closely contested due to factors like the Muslim vote and a potential transfer of votes from the MNM and AIMIM in previous elections.
