Nagercoil was a Lok Sabha constituency in Tamil Nadu, India. K. Kamaraj. The first elected Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu was elected twice to the Lok Sabha from here. It has been now named as Kanyakumari (Lok Sabha constituency).

Kamarajar by-election victory

The death of A. Nesamony in 1968 led to the by-election in Nagercoil constituency. Realising the popularity of Kamaraj in this constituency and the potential danger posed by Kamaraj's election after the Indian National Congress party's debacle in 1967 election, C. Rajagopalachari wrote in Swarajya, the magazine of the Swatantra Party, about the need to defeat him and appealed to C. N. Annadurai to support M. Mathias, the Swatantra Party candidate. Annadurai deputed M. Karunanidhi, the then Minister for Public Works, to Nagercoil to work in support of Mathias. Despite the efforts, Kamaraj won decisively with a 1,28,201-vote margin on 8 January 1969.[1]
