Tamilnad Elections
The over all result is that the Tamils are yet to come out of the Dravidian spell cast by Macauley,Max Mueller,Abbe Dubois, Bishop Caldwell and others.
Even the new party of the Captain(Vijaykanth) has appended the word 'Dravidian' to its name calling itself the Desiya DRAVIDA Munnetra Kazhagam(or national DMK!)
The present position is as follows:
Parties Seats Contested Seats won Vote %
DMK 132(incl Indian
Union Muslim League) 96 26.40
Cong 48 34 8.38
PMK 31 18 5.55
CPI(M) 13 9 2.54
CPI 10 6 1.60
ADMK 182 61 32.52
MDMK 35 6 5.97
VC(Freedom panth 9 2 1.29
ers)
DMDK(captain's) 232 1 8.34
Independent(?) 1
The rest is made up by BJP, Lok Paritran,etc., who did not win any seat.
Though short of a majority by some margin DMK has formed the Government all by itself. It has been assured support by all its allies.
Though beaten at the hustings, ADMK boasts of 'victory' by scoring a better percentage of the votes polled and becoming the largest opposition party ever in the state of TN
A noteworthy feature is of a Tamil Blogger who was providing 'hot' updates constantly and was rightly acclaimed for his diligence and industry.
