Full Biography
|N. Periasamy Nadar (died 26 May 2017) was an Indian politician and a former Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA). He was elected to the Tamil Nadu legislative assembly as a Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) candidate from Tuticorin constituency in the 1989 and 1996 elections.
Periasamy Nadar was Thoothukudi District DMK Secretary since 1985.[citation needed] He received the Kalaignar Award from his party in 2016.
Periasamy had been placed in custody in 2012 as a consequence of allegations that he was part of a group of people, including his son, N. P. Jegan, who had used a forged document to obtain around 19 acres (7.7 ha) of land at Mullakkaadu.
Geetha Jeevan, a daughter of Periasamy Nadar, followed her father into politics, as did Jegan. Both were DMK members.
Periyasamy died on 26 May 2017, aged 78.
