P. Vetrivel (1959 or 1960 – 15 October 2020)[1] was a politician from Tamil Nadu, India. He resigned as member of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly in 2015 to pave way for the former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa to contest as an MLA from his constituency.[citation needed]

Life

[edit]

He was elected from the Perambur constituency to the Fifteenth Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly as a member of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam political party in the 2016 Tamil Nadu legislative assembly elections.[2]

He was one of the 18 members who were disqualified by Speaker P. Dhanapal as they withdrew support for Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami and became loyal to rebel leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran and joined his party Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam.[3][4]
