Tiruchirappalli, April 6
Tamil Nadu Minister KN Nehru on Monday campaigned in the Ponmalai area of the Thiruverumbur constituency in Tiruchirappalli, in support of state Education Minister and DMK candidate Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi.
Speaking on the occasion, Nehru focused on Poyyamozhi's role in implementation of various welfare schemes in Tiruchirappalli and praised the developmental works in the education field.
He added that Anbil Mahesh's performance in the School Education Department over the past five years has been highly commendable. He also noted that projects such as a Jallikattu arena and an Olympic stadium were brought to the Thiruverumbur constituency through his efforts. He appealed to the people of the constituency to vote for him and ensure his victory with a large margin.
Meanwhile, speaking at the event, Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi said that he is contesting in the Thiruverumbur constituency for the third time. He recalled that the people had elected him in the previous election, enabling him to serve as the School Education Minister for five years. During his tenure, he implemented several schemes for school students, including the breakfast scheme and other key initiatives in the education sector.
He assured that if elected again, he would transform the constituency into a model constituency in Tamil Nadu.
Thiruverumbur assembly constituency falls under Tiruchirappalli Lok Sabha constituency and will go for polls along with the rest of the state on April 23.

Jallikattu arena and Olympic stadium? These are good projects that promote our Tamil culture and sports. It's important for local MLAs to bring such infrastructure. Hope the promises are fulfilled and not just election talk.
While the welfare schemes are appreciated, I wish the campaigning focused more on future plans for employment and industrial growth in Trichy. The youth need jobs, not just stadiums. A more balanced development approach is needed.
Winning twice already shows the people's trust. But the real test is converting a constituency into a 'model' one. Let's see the concrete plan for overall infrastructure - roads, water, and waste management. The devil is in the details.
Good to see ministers campaigning at the grassroots level in Ponmalai area. It connects them with local issues. Hope the focus on education continues. Our future depends on it! 📚
The article mentions he defeated AIADMK twice. The political landscape in TN is very competitive. Delivering on welfare schemes is key to breaking anti-incumbency. April 23 will tell if the work speaks for itself.
