 Vandavasi Constituency   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Vandavasi, a predominantly Vanniyar constituency, had acquired political importance in the history of Tamil Nadu politics.
Since 1962, after the formation of the Vandavasi constituency which was previously called 'Thiruvannamalai', the Congress had won five times, DMK and PMK twice and the ruling AIADMK once.
It cannot be ascertained what prompted the PMK to part with this constituency and spare it for the alliance partner MDMK, when it is considered a PMK stronghold and especially since it had got elected two of its members to Parliament from here.

In the present study among all the taluks the highest density of 40.67 birds was registered in Vandavasi taluk and the lowest density (7.73 birds) was recorded in Chengam taluk (Table 1).

 Rajini has little impact in the Vanniyar belt - The Economic Times   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Despite superstar Rajinikant's voice asking his fans to vote out the PMK in the six seats allotted to that party in the Democratic Progressive Alliance (DPA) and the actor pledging his vote for the BJP alliance, Dr Ramdoss’s statement may well continue to hold true for the May 10 Lok Sabha elections in the state.
A tour around the Vanniyar belt, especially the Vandavasi and Chengalpet constituencies, and to an extent in Thindivanam and Arakonam constituencies, revealed that the “voice” of Rajinikant has had little impact so far.
While there has been no large-scale “organised meetings” by the actor’s fan clubs, the fact that AIADMK is yet to officially welcome the support extended by the actor, has also dampened their spirits.
