After
West Bengal, everyone is eagerly waiting to see the verdict of Tamil voters of
2021 general elections. First time Tamil Nadu elections were held for 4 decades
without two great leaders Jayalalitha and Karunanidhi. AIADMK and DMK have been
known to be arch rivals in Tamil politics.
2021 elections are also held in a similar manner between two parties. Two national parties BJP and Congress are allay partners of AIADMK and DMK respectively. As exit polls predicted, M.K. Stalin led DMK won the election with 157 seats and AIADMK alliance with 77 seats.
No
worries for DMK cadre even after Karunanidhi's death in the state. Late leader
promoted his son Stalin as the next leader for DMK when he was alive. AIADMK
cadre was full of suspicions on continuance of AIADMK. Sasikala was arrested
and released but she didn’t show any interest in politics. Amid all odds,
AIADMK performance surprised many political pundits. Though Edappadi
Palaniswami (EPS) took the charge as Chief Minister with the blessings of
Sasikala, he emerged as a strong leader with his governance. DMK expected to
sweep the elections based on the 2019 general elections where the party managed
38 Lok Sabha seats out of 40 in the state.
