The upcoming elections in the Madhavaram and Maduravoyal constituencies of Chennai are generating significant interest as incumbent MLAs S Sudharsanam from the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and K Ganapathy, also from DMK, face off against their rivals from the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), V Moorthy and P Benjamin, respectively. Sudharsanam, who has served two terms since 2016, is optimistic about increasing his winning margin from 57,000 votes in 2021 to 67,000 votes this time, citing various infrastructure projects and welfare schemes, including a ₹100 crore underground drainage system. Conversely, V Moorthy is banking on anti-incumbency sentiments and dissatisfaction with the current government to reclaim his seat. In Maduravoyal, K Ganapathy touts his achievements, such as the resumption of the Chennai Port-Maduravoyal Expressway project, while P Benjamin argues that basic amenities have been neglected. The Tamilaga Valvurimai Katchi (TVK) party's influence is also expected to play a role in the election outcomes on May 4.
