P. Ravindhranath Kumar is an Indian politician. He was elected to the Lok Sabha, lower house of the Parliament of India from Theni, Tamil Nadu in the 2019 Indian general election as member of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam.

Controversy[edit]

Election bribing[edit]

Ravindhranath contesting from Theni district for the 2019 Indian general election was caught on camera bribing people for votes in a college premises. The video shows Ravindhranath and O. Panneerselvam's supporters giving out money in a college premises. The administration of the college seems to have turned a blind eye to these activities and many claimed the bribers had reportedly paid the college's Imam to keep silent.[5] Court cases were filed citing the incident.[6][7]
