Personal life

K. N. Nehru was born in Kanakilliyanallur on 9 November 1952. He completed his school education and now lives in Trichy. His son K. N. Arun Nehru is also actively working in Trichy branch of the DMK. [2] Nehru has three younger brothers, one elder sister, and two younger sisters. He has two daughters and one son.

Politics

Nehru's father, an Indian National Congress member, named his son after Jawaharlal Nehru. Later in the early 1970s, Nehru's family moved to the DMK. He started his political career as Pullambadi union chairman.

In 2021 under his leadership Secular Progressive Alliance won all the 9 seats in Tiruchirappalli district.

Nehru successfully organized many high level party meetings, so the DMK party leader and Tamil Nadu chief Minister M. K. Stalin always praises Nehru as "Maanadu endraal Nehru, Nehru endraal Maanadu".

Nehru has been elected to the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly on five occasions, twice from Lalgudi constituency, in the elections of 1989 and 1996 [3] and thrice from 2006, 2016 and 2021 Tiruchirappalli West constituency.

Minister for Transport

Nehru was the Minister for Transport in the DMK government from 2006 to 2011. During this period, the bus fleet was modernised and improvements were made to the frequency of buses, passenger amenities and connections to the new suburban areas of Chennai. [4] More than 10,000 new buses were introduced across the state. [5] [6] Fuel efficiency was given an important thrust and drivers were educated on importance of managing fuel. [7]

Charges

Cases have been filed on Nehru by the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam government but the courts have dismissed them as being vague.

The Madras High Court struck down the controversial land-grabbing cells which were primarily used to torment common people and opposition figures. The court had clearly remarked chance of misuse by officials and ruling government citing broad language used in the act. [8]
