Charles came from the southern Tamil Nadu region of Kanyakumari district, the area in which the Nagercoil Lok Sabha constituency is situated. The constituency lies at the southern tip of the Indian peninsula and has historically returned candidates from the Indian National Congress as well as regional and Left-leaning parties.
Charles served as a Member of Parliament from the Nagercoil Lok Sabha constituency. As a representative from Kanyakumari district, his work in Parliament was tied to the political and developmental concerns of the southernmost districts of Tamil Nadu, including matters relating to fisheries, coastal communities, and the predominantly Christian and Hindu Nadar electorate of the region.
As a parliamentarian from Nagercoil, Charles was part of the cohort of Tamil Nadu politicians who shaped the state's representation in the Indian Parliament. The Nagercoil seat is considered politically distinctive within Tamil Nadu owing to the demographic and geographic specificities of Kanyakumari district.
