Mahesh Poyyamozhi faces stiffer challenge in Tiruverumbur polls

School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi seeks a hat-trick from Tiruverumbur in a multi-cornered contest. Voters express discontent over delays in service lanes along the Tiruchi-Thanjavur National Highway and recession in steel fabrication units. He has delivered projects like an Olympic Academy, jallikattu arena, and a government model school.

Tiruverumbur heads to the polls in a multi-cornered contest, where School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi aims for a third consecutive win. A substantial part of the constituency falls under Tiruchi Corporation, where residents raise multiple civic issues. The top demand remains service lanes between Palpannai and Thuvakudi along the Tiruchi-Thanjavur National Highway.

This infrastructure delay persists as a major grievance. Once-thriving small and medium steel fabrication units continue to face recessionary conditions. Traffic congestion and road transport woes add to voter frustrations.

Poyyamozhi, an influential young DMK leader, has secured big-ticket projects including an Olympic Academy, a jallikattu arena, and a government model school for the area. These achievements may bolster his campaign amid the challenges.
