Career In April 1997, together with fellow DMK politicians P. Selvaraj and S. K. Rajendran, Andamuthu irked Karunanidhi, the Chief Minister, by praying for the continuation of the DMK government. They did so by walking on burning coals at the Pannari Amman temple, near Salem. The atheist Karunanidhi said "I am not bothered how long my government lasts. I am worried about how long it will adhere to the principles of rationalism." He threatened to expel from the party any person who emulated the act.
