Whenever he visited the Assembly canteen while being an MLA, N. Nanmaran would be seen facing the wall after having a cup of tea. It was to prevent others from seeing him smoking ‘beedi’. Whether in public platforms or in the Assembly, Nanmaran would never deviate from the subject he had taken up, and was appreciated by the late Chief Minister, Jayalalithaa, on the floor of the House. His speeches were peppered with humour and before one could realise the meaning of his barbs, he would switch to other subjects. Once he shared the dais with actress Revathi in Chennai. After listening to him, a spellbound Revathi said, “It was a clear case of appearance belies.”
A long time ago, when the DMK objected to an AIADMK platform speaker for his uncharitable comments on party leader M. Karunanidhi, Nanmaran said he would share the sentiments of the DMK leaders, but they were not speaking like great Tamil scholar Thiru.Vi.Ka.
His speeches were recorded and played at the party meetings, and one of his famous speeches was on world peace.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
