The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday announced K. Vasantha Rajan as its candidate for the Pollachi constituency for the upcoming Lok Sabha election.
Aged 43, Mr. Vasantha Rajan has been holding the post of the party’s president for Coimbatore south district.
A post graduate in civil engineering, Mr. Vasantha Rajan is also into real estate and farming, alongside his public life as a politician.
Mr. Vasantha Rajan’s political career started with roles in the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha and was the State general secretary of the youth wing in 2016. He became the convenor of the party for Pollachi in 2019.
His main opponents in the election are K. Easwaraswamy of the DMK and A. Karthikeyan of the AIADMK.
Political economist Parakala Prabhakar has described the exit poll results as “fudged figures”, saying that those would benefit the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) only. “False predictions were given with the sole objective of helping the NDA in rigging during the counting,” alleged Mr. Prabhakar, after releasing a book titled ‘Avineeti Chakravarthi Narendra Modi’ penned by former Minister Vadde Shobanadreeswara Rao, here, on June 2 (Sunday).
