Kamaraj
got 103 votes and won by 3 votes. Those 3 votes changed the history of
Tamilnadu. A man who started his political life as a volunteer in 1919 became a
President to the same party in 21 years. Once he was elected as a
President public were interested in knowing his life history. They were
attracted in his simplicity and sacrifice.
To help Kamaraj Sathyamoorthy took the
post of Secretary.
During 2nd World War Aurther Hope ,
the Governor of Madras collected war fund from public. Kamaraj toured all over
the state asking the public not to give war fund to foreigner. Hence war fund
collection was disturbed . So Kamaraj was arrested under Security Act and sent
to Vellore Jail. This was his 3rd Arrest.

have got the apporval of Gandhiji . When Kamaraj went to Gandhiji with one such
list for Gandhiji's approval he was arrested in the train at Gudur railway
station.
According to the individual Sathyagraha
started by Gandhiji all municipal chairman should go to jail by breaking the
law. Accordingly Sankarapanida Nadar Chairman of Virudhunagar went to jail.
