Posted by on May 30, 2009 in India, Indian Politicians, Indian Politics

The Lok Sabha Election results in Tamil Nadu threw up a huge surprise as it was the DMK-Congress combine that came up with the highest tally out of the 39 seats. It was the AIAMDK under J. Jayalalitha that was expected to sweep the polls but surpisingly Amma’s party and its alliances came up with shocking figures.

The former UPA allies – PMK (belonging to the former Union Health Minister Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss) failed to retain any of its five seats while Vaiko’s MDMK was cut short to just the one seat despite generating a lot of noise about the Tamil issue in Sri Lanka. Film Actor Vijayakanth’s Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) did not open its account but made significant damage by splitting the anti-establishment votes of the DMK and Congress. The BJP did not get a single seat in Tamil Nadu, it could come up with a Vote Share of 2.34%.

Here is the breakdown of the seats won out of the 39 Lok Sabha Seats by the various parties in Tamil Nadu :
