Tamil Nadu Assembly Polls: Independent candidate Hari Nadar owns more than 11,000 grams of gold


As the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections approach, candidates have lined up to present their nominations, with some drawing attention to the assets they have declared.

One such candidate is Hari Nadar, an independent Alangulam fighter in Tirunelveli district, who has stated that he owns Rs 4.73 million worth of gold.

Nadar, who identifies himself as a businessman and social worker, is known to often wear gold capes. The 39-year-old is the coordinator of a political group called Pannagatu Padai Katchi.

According to his survey affidavit, Nadar owns 11,200 grams of gold. He has movable assets worth 12.61,19,403 rupees, while his real estate is worth around 11.50,000 rupees. He owns five vehicles, including a Fortuner, an Inova Crista, a Temp Travel, a Mahindra XUV, a Tata Safari, and a Bolero. Nadar’s affidavit indicates that he has 15 criminal cases against him.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, he fought against the Nanguneri polls and secured the third position. In an interview with a local YouTube channel, Nadar said that he developed an ‘interest’ in gold from a young age. He claimed that all the ornaments he owns were purchased with his own income, earned from running a travel business, doing real estate business, financing movies, etc. If it is a bracelet, ring or chain, buy it immediately.

Hari Nadar will also make his debut in a Tamil film.
