Sriperumbudur holds significant political importance as its the place where former Prime Minister of India, Rajiv Gandhi, was assassinated as a result of a suicide bombing on May 21, 1991. At least 15 people were killed along with Rajiv Gandhi after a suicide bomber carried out the attack. 

The attack was planned by a member of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a terror organization based in Sri Lanka when India had just ended its involvement in its peace Keeping mission in the Sri Lankan Civil War. 

At least 7 people involved in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination were sentenced to 7-year imprisonment. Recently, one of the prisoners in the case, Nalini has approached the Madras High Court seeking leave for six months in view of her daughter's marriage. 

The state of Tamil Nadu has 39 parliamentary constituencies out of which seven are reserved for SCs (Sriperumbudur, Chidambaram, Rasipuram, Pollachi, Perambalur, Tenkasi, and Nagapattinam). However, no seat is reserved for Scheduled Tribes in the state. 

In 2019, EC had cancelled the election in Vellore constituency after a large sum of cash was allegedly seized from a DMK candidate's office in Vellore, therefore, out of 39, polling took place in 38 Lok Sabha constituencies only.
