A.K. Lingavelu

| Published on:

Shri A.K.Lingavelu came to Andaman & Nicobar islands at the age of 12 in 1939 in search of livelihood where he started working at the shop owned by his uncle in Port Blair. He was drawn to the Hindutva ideology and started associating himself with Viswa Hindu Parishad.

There was a time, when nobody was ready to lead BJP in Andaman & Nicobar Islands, because of Congress’s fear. Shri Lingavelu mustered the courage to assume charge as the Founder-President of the BJP in the year 1990. He faced many hurdles, intimidation and indirect threats from dominant Congress party. However, Shri Lingavelu continued working towards fortifying BJP in the Andaman islands.
