K. K. S. S. R. Ramachandran

K. K. S. S. R. Ramachandran (generally known as Sattur Ramachandran) was the Minister for Backward Classes between 2006 and 2011 in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, India.

Political career

He has been elected to the Tamil Nadu Assembly seven times, and won on three consecutive occasions as an All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) candidate from the Sattur constituency. After the death of M. G. Ramachandran, he won the neighbouring Vilathikulam constituency as a candidate for the AIADMK (Jayalalitha faction). He again won Sattur, as a candidate of the then-new Anna Puratchi Thalaivar Munnetra Kazhagam and subsequently suffered his first defeat after re-joining the AIADMK in 1996. Switching allegiance once more - this time to the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam - he won the next two elections, in 2001 and 2006. [1]

He was the Minister for Cooperation and Public Works Department in the M. G. Ramachandran Cabinet between 1984 and 1987. He owns a ginning factory in Virudhunagar.[2]
