About Kaduvetti Guru

J. Guru (born Jayaraman Gurunathan; 1 February 1961 – 25 May 2018), also known as Kaduvetti Guru, was an Indian politician who was twice elected as a Member of the Legislative Assembly in Tamil Nadu. He was the president of the Vanniyar Sangam, a caste-based organization that represented the interests of the Vanniyar community. Guru was known for his inflammatory speeches and faced several legal cases. When Guru stood in the Tiruvannamalai constituency in the 2009 general elections, he suffered a record defeat as the DMK targeted PMK candidates after the break-up of the alliance. He lost the contest for the Jayankondam constituency in the 2006 elections but won the seat in the 2011 elections.
