Ahead of Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, candidate Thulam Saravanan has promised iPhones, mini-helicopter, an annual deposit of ₹1 crore, gold jewellery for weddings, a three-storey house, and a trip to the moon in his poll manifesto. However, some people claimed Saravanan's manifesto was a parody to mock "the freebies of major parties". He is contesting from Madurai South constituency.
