Information About

Dayanidhi Maran




He is the son of deceased leader Murasoli Maran and the Grand-nephew of DMK president M Karunanidhi . His elder brother is Kalanidhi Maran , the founder and managing director of Sun Network , the group that owns and operates the largest number of satellite television channels in southern india in four languages. He is a graduate in economics.

Contested as a Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) Party candidate to the 14th Lok Sabha from Central Chennai Constituency in Chennai in the State of Tamil Nadu in Parliamentary Elections held in April – May 2004 and elected as a Member of Parliament by winning with a margin of over 1,34,000 votes and securing over 62% of the votes polled.
Appointed as Union Minister for Communications and Information Technology w.e.f. 26.05.2004.

As of 2004 , he was a Crorepati having declared assets of 16 million Indian Rupee s (approx. 360,000 US Dollar s).

Today everyone is asking Maran to quit from his Union Minister job which he doesnt deserve. He has demanded the Tatas 33% shares from the Tata-Rupert Murdoch television network. Atrocious. He's also asked for administrative powers with that company. Nice way to promote their family run businesses.
