S Gandhiselvan - Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare

S Gandhiselvan

Portfolio: Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare

Party: DMK

Constituency: Namakkal

A Stalin loyalist, S Gandhiselvan, 46, sprang a surprise by winning the newly created Namakkal seat of Tamil Nadu, considered to be a bastion of AIADMK.

S Gandhiselvan is a first time MP, and a representative of the Gounder community in western Tamil Nadu. Yet another community popular for its business and industrial acumen, the Vellalar Gounders of the Kongu (western) region have a powerful lobby in the state.
