Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections | Tirumangalam, the one with a ‘winning formula’ awaits development
The Hindu
A lack of industrial development is among issues plaguing Tirumangalam.
The first phrase that pops up in the mind after hearing the name of the Tirumangalam Assembly constituency is ‘Tirumangalam formula’. The constituency gave the fine-tuned version of the ‘cash-for-vote’ formula to Tamil Nadu politics in the 2009 byelection, which resulted in a landslide victory for the DMK. Despite being in the spotlight, a range of issues in the constituency remain unaddressed, such as the delay in shifting of the mofussil bus stand, the non-convenient location of the Kappalur toll plaza, lack of industrial development and shortcomings in infrastructure at the Kappalur industrial estate. The constituency, represented by Revenue Minister R.B. Udhayakumar, who is seeking re-election, comprises the Tirumanagalam municipality and villages in the Kallikudi block and T. Kallupatti town panchayat.
