The AIADMK, led by ex-movie star J. Jayalalithaa recorded a landslide victory Friday, winning 150 seats in the 234-member Tamil Nadu assembly; the DMK has won 23 seats and its ally the Congress Party, 5 seats, according to the Election Commission of India.

During last assembly elections in 2006, the AIADMK won 61 seats; the DMK and Congress won 96 and 34 seats respectively.

Political experts say Friday's verdict indicates that the issue of corruption has emerged as the main influential factor in this election, and became the public’s main concern across the country.

"The problems for the DMK are not over," said Cho S. Ramaswamy, a well-known political commentator. "The verdict has marked the beginning of the end for the regional party."

The assembly elections in Tamil Nadu were held against the backdrop of a telecom-licensing scandal in which former telecom minister and senior DMK leader Andimuthu Raja, has been charged with wrongdoing in the allocation of spectrum licenses, leading to his arrest this February.

Also charged in the scam is DMK leader and outgoing Chief Minister M. Kar [...]

दरवर्षी मुस्लीम मोहल्ल्यातला प्रचार फिरकापरस्त (धर्मांध) या शब्दाभोवती फिरतो. 'तीर कमान हमारे सिनेको छलनी करने आया है...', अशी आरोळी मुंबई-ठाण्यातल्या मुस्लिम मोहल्ल्यांमध्ये ठोकून शिवसेनेच्या विरोधात प्रचार चालतो. मात्र, आजवर चार हात लांब राहिलेल्या मुस्लिमांना आकर्षित करण्यासाठी शिवसेनेने चक्क मुस्लिम महासंघाची स्थापना केली आहे.

ठाणे महापालिकेच्या निवडणुका वर्षभरावर येऊन ठेपल्या आहेत. मुंब्य्रात महापालिकेचे जवळपास १६ प्रभाग असून ठाणे शह [...]

Tamil Nadu marks the southernmost boundary of India and is spread across 511 sq kms. It's India's 11th largest state and seventh largest in terms of population.

Tamil Nadu has already seen 13 assembly elections and the state politics has always revolved around few prominent personalities. Congress was a powerful force in the state till the mid 1960s. But anti-Hindu protests and mass agitations soon made DMK the popular choice and in 1967 DMK's Annadurai became the Chief Minister. After Annadurai's death in 1969, M Karunanidhi became the C M. 1972 saw one of the biggest political forces to emerge from Tamil Nadu, M G Ramachandran. M G broke from DMK and floated his own party ADMK, which was later renamed as AIADMK. MG was the CM of the state from 1977 to 1987, the year he died. J Jayalalithaa was later elected as General Secretary of AIADMK. Since then, it has been a clear war between DMK and AIADMK, or Karunanidhi and Jayalalithaa, with voters choosing either of the two in subsequent elections.

Over the past decade, some smaller parties have found favour with the voters. Vijayakanth's DMDK, Vaiko's MDMK and Ramdoss's PMK along with Congress, all have the capability to become the king makers, in case a clear majority is not achieved by DMK and AIADMK.

ऊभे आयुष्य असे जळुन गेले
