Source Index

ID	Source	What it supports
MyNeta candidate profile: T. Mano Thangaraj, Padmanabhapuram, Tamil Nadu 2021	Candidate identity, party, constituency, 2021 candidacy context.
ABP Live Padmanabhapuram 2021 result page	2021 result summary, confirms constituency and winner.
DMK Election Manifesto 2021 Overview (English mirror on Scribd)	Main promise source used throughout this folder. Includes statewide promises and Kanyakumari-specific items like OBM engines, Kulachal boat unit, rubber-products plant, Kanyakumari power lines, Chennai-Kanyakumari connectivity, free bus travel for women, NEET opposition, farm loan waiver, LPG subsidy, etc.
Padmanabhapuram Assembly constituency overview	Basic constituency context only; not used as a promise source.
Mano Thangaraj official site	Used only to check whether a public, archived 2021 constituency-specific promise list was accessible. Publicly accessible archive content was not meaningfully available.

Reliability Notes

Source	Reliability note
MyNeta candidate profile	Strong for candidate identity and election metadata; not a promise source.
ABP Live result page	Useful for election result confirmation; not a manifesto source.
DMK manifesto mirror	This is the most important source in the folder. It is not the official DMK site, but it preserves an English version / mirror of the 2021 manifesto text with many promise items visible and searchable.
Padmanabhapuram constituency overview	Background-only context.
Mano Thangaraj official site	Helpful mainly as a negative finding: no accessible, sourceable 2021 local manifesto archive could be extracted from the public site.

Evidence Limits

What I could verify

• Mano Thangaraj was the DMK candidate for Padmanabhapuram in 2021 and won.
• The DMK 2021 manifesto contained many promises clearly relevant to Padmanabhapuram voters.
• The manifesto also included a meaningful set of Kanyakumari-specific promises.

What I could not verify cleanly

• A single public document listing Mano Thangaraj’s 2021 promises for every ward / village / area inside Padmanabhapuram.
• A locally archived candidate pamphlet or public PDF that breaks his promises down area-by-area.

How To Use This Folder

• Use 01 – 2021 Election Promises for the actual research summary.
• Treat the tables in that note as verified where sourced, and intentionally incomplete where public evidence is missing.
• If deeper local granularity is needed later, the next step should be Tamil print archive work, local campaign leaflet collection, or social-media post retrieval from March-April 2021.
