R. Gandhi

R. Gandhi is an Indian politician and incumbent Member of the Legislative Assembly of Tamil Nadu. He was elected to the Tamil Nadu legislative assembly from Ranipet constituency as a Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) candidate in 1996,[1] 2006[2] and 2016 elections.[3]

Gandhi — together with his wife and son — was among several DMK legislators charged by Tamil Nadu Police in June 2005 of having assets disproportionate to their known income.[4] All charges were dismissed by the courts in 2015 due to lack of evidence.[5]
