Duraimurugan, a prominent figure in the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party and currently serving as the Minister for Water Resources, has maintained a stronghold in his constituency since 1996.

He has played a crucial role in various initiatives related to water resources management in the state, addressing critical issues such as water scarcity and irrigation. His political journey reflects both his personal resilience and the evolving dynamics of voter sentiment in Tamil Nadu.
