The Vedasandur constituency is currently being held by AIADMK
MLA Paramasivam VPB who defeated Sivasakthivel Gounder R of the Congress in
2016. The seat, one of Tamil Nadu’s 234 assembly constituencies, falls under
the Karur Lok Sabha constituency.

The Karur Lok Sabha seat is currently held by Congress MP S
Jothimani, who defeated M Thambidurai of the ADMK in the 2019 General
Elections.

Before 1971, CPI(M) and Congress won the seat twice each in
assembly elections. Post-1971, the seat has been constant electoral dominance
by AIADMK, with a few in-between victories of DMK occurring now and then. Apart
from this, Congress won the seat in 2006.
