Rajkumar, a brother of S. S. Palanimanickam, had decided that Thanjavur was the only constituency for which he was prepared to stand. Ramachandran was previously elected to the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly from the Thiruvonam constituency in the 1989 and 1996 elections. He lost the contest for the seat in 1991 and 2001.

The party's decision to stand aside in favour of a candidate from the Pattali Makkal Katchi was met with protests from local supporters of Ramachandran. (en)
