Gomathi Srinivasan
Gomathi Srinivasan is an Indian politician and was Minister of Social Welfare in the Government of Tamil Nadu between 1980 and 1987, as well as a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly.
Srinivasan was elected to the Tamil Nadu legislative assembly as an
1984 election.[3]
After Ramachandran had died, Srinivasan switched allegiances and joined the
2001 elections and later suspended her for alleged anti-party activities.[5] She returned to the AIADMK in September 2013.[2]
Srinivasan was among several former DMK ministers legislators charged by Tamil Nadu Police in June 2005 of having assets disproportionate to their known income.[6] All charges were dismissed by the courts in 2015 due to lack of evidence.[7] In 2024, she joined the Bharatiya Janata Party in the presence of Tamil Nadu BJP chief K. Annamalai and Rajeev Chandrasekhar.[8][9][10]
