Such comrades are very rare at present , who follow the ethical politics and find difficulty to survive .Nanmaran is such a person. He is a two-time Member of the Legislative Assembly from Madurai East constituency in Tamil Nadu. He led many struggles for workers' rights and is now in his seventies. His wife N. Shanmukhavalli is 60 years old. They are living in rented accommodation in Rajakoor. He lives according to party law and pays his pension to the party. Instead, the party gives back a monthly allowance of Rs 12,000. Of this, a rent of Rs 6,000 has to be paid. 6000 per month for expenses.
His current wish is to live with his wife in a house of his own. He has applied to the Madurai Collector for a house to be included in the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.
Nanmaran is a rarity nowadays where even local leaders have become owners of their own homes and cars. I urge the comrades not to leave him to the mercy of the government. Party should stop the traditional practice of collecting the pension of people's representatives. Even if all the comrades in the country pay Rs 10 each, party can build a good house for Nanmaran . It would be appropriate to consider such a campaign as well. Nanmaran should be made a subject of study in party classes. Anyway a red salute to this comrade!!
