He had also served as the chairman of the Hosur municipality. He became Animal Husbandry Minister and later Youth Welfare and Sports Development Minister in Tamil Nadu.

On 7 January 2019, he was convicted under sections 147 (rioting) and 341 (wrongfully restraining any person) of Indian Penal code and section 3 of Tamil Nadu Property Prevention of Damage and Loss Act 1992 and sentenced to three years imprisonment in a case of rioting in 1998 in Bagalur village in krishnagiri by the special court.
