In the Villivakkam assembly constituency of Chennai, Aadhav Arjuna, the general secretary of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), is actively campaigning to challenge the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), which has historically dominated the area, winning eight out of eleven elections. Arjuna engages with residents through door-to-door campaigns, emphasizing the neglect of basic infrastructure by the DMK government led by Chief Minister MK Stalin. He argues that the constituency lacks proper drainage, drinking water, and adequate educational facilities despite its proximity to the chief minister's constituency. Arjuna frames his campaign as a grassroots movement, confident that the public support will translate into votes. On the other side, Karthik Mohan, the DMK candidate and son of a sitting MLA, campaigns on the success of government welfare initiatives, including a popular Rs 8,000 coupon scheme. He rejects criticisms of dynastic politics, asserting that the DMK has introduced many new candidates. The election is further complicated by the presence of AIADMK's SR Vijayakumar, making Villivakkam a significant battleground as the TVK seeks to challenge the ruling DMK across multiple Chennai constituencies.
