Tamil Nadu Toilers Party was created by members of the Vanniyar caste during the 1950s.[1] In 1951, Vanniyars convened a major conference of the Vanniyar Kula Kshatriya Sangam. M. A. Manickavelu Naicker, a lawyer and S. S. Ramasami Padayatchiyar, 33-year-old high school graduate, Chairman of the Cuddalore Municipal school and member of the South Arcot district board were participants of the conference among others. The conference which intended to organise Vanniars on a statewide basis failed due to traditional local loyalties. South Arcot and Salem vanniars under Padayachi's leadership formed Tamil Nadu Toilers party whereas vanniars from North Arcot and Chengalpattu under Naicker formed Commonweal Party.[2] The party won 4 seats during 1952 lok sabha election.[3]
