1979 Nagapattinam (SC ) Lok Sabha seat by-election
On 17 June 1979 a by-election was held in for the Nagapattinam seat in the Lok Sabha (lower house of the parliament of India ).[1] [2] [3] The by-election was called after the murder of the incumbent Communist Party of India parliamentarian S.G. Murugaiyan , one of three prominent communist leaders killed in the state of Tamil Nadu in 1979.[3] [4] The Nagapattinam constituency was reserved for Scheduled Castes .[5]
By 1979, CPI had moved away from the Indian National Congress (I ) .[3] The CPI candidate K. Murugaiyan had the support from the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) .[3] The CPI candidate, himself a bonded labourer, had overwhelming support from the Dalit communities in the constituency.[3] [6]
The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam candidate M. Mahalingam had the support from the Congress(I ).[3] The Nagapattinam by-election was held simultaneously as a by-election in the Thanjavur Lok Sabha constituency .[7] AIADMK supported the Congress(I ) candidate in Thanjavur, and AIADMK supremo M.G. Ramachandran toured both constituencies during the election campaign.[7] Nevertheless, the Congress(I ) leader Indira Gandhi only campaigned in Thanjavur.[7]
Sources:[1] [8]
Aftermath [ edit ]
The CPI hailed the by-election as a victory for left and democratic forces.[9] However, the CPI(M ) state chief took a more cautious tone, stating that the by-election outcome "show that autocratic forces are still strong in Tamil Nadu".[9] The head of the Pradesh Congress Committee (I ) bitterly accused M.G. Ramachandran of not having supported the party candidate in Nagapattinam sufficiently.[9]
K. Murugayian lost the Nagapattinam seat in the subsequent 1980 Lok Sabha election to the DMK candidate Thanzai M. Karunanidhi.[5]
