In the 2021 MLA election, M.R Gandhi of BJP party is said to have won with the help of Christian Nadars, because the DMK party's candidate was a Chettiyar while the BJP party's candidate was a Hindu Nadar. Though generally Christian Nadars do not vote for BJP, it is said that a substantial number of Christian Nadars voted for the Hindu Nadar candidate M.R Gandhi of BJP. If the DMK party had fielded a Hindu Nadar candidate instead of a Chettiyar candidate, DMK might have won in 2021.
