'''T. K. M. Chinnayya''' is an Indian politician and was a member of the [[Fourteenth Assembly of Tamil Nadu|14th Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly]] from [[Tambaram (State Assembly Constituency)|Tambaram constituency]]. He represented the [[All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] party<ref>{{cite web|title=List of MLAs from Tamil Nadu 2011|url=http://www.assembly.tn.gov.in/member_list.pdf|publisher=Government of Tamil Nadu |accessdate=2017-04-26}}</ref> and was a cabinet minister in the [[Government of Tamil Nadu]].

Chinnayya was Minister for Environment until November 2011 when a cabinet reshuffle by [[Jayalalithaa]] saw him replace [[N. R. Sivapathi]] as Minister for Animal Husbandry.<ref>{{cite news |title=Jayalalithaa sacks six Tamil Nadu ministers |agency=PTI |date=4 November 2011 |url=http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/jayalalithaa-sacks-six-tamil-nadu-ministers-572958 |work=NDTV |accessdate=2017-05-04}}</ref>

The [[2016 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election|elections of 2016]] resulted in his constituency being won by [[S. R.

It was felt that fresh faces would put some distance between the past and the present.<ref>{{cite news |work=Deccan Chronicle |title=MLAs in flood-hit areas denied tickets |first=C.
