Election Results in TN - A Review

Everbody knows that the real winner in TN elections was not JJ or MK, it was V. The reasons will be clear later. Before going into details about Mr.V faction, a small prologue about the EC and the activities which it had carried out during this election.

In the recent elections the EC website had extensive details on the list of candidates who are contesting and their material possesions. Everything were available in the website, you had to click the constituency and then the details of the list of candiates who had filed thier nominations and their movable and immovable properties which were declared by the candiadates are shown. This was really amazing and for sure I can say that EC is/was doing good work.

Now after saying this, what was very surprising and interesting was the fact that the EC gives details on the vote secured by each candidate. Though this information was available earlier, to make a comparsion between different parties in a state was not that easy. Now with this information, a party can easily make out their + and - ives. From this information, it was widely spoken that in TN, the clear winner was Mr.Vijakanth faction and not the dravidian parties.

This is mainly beacuse, his party came 3rd in most of the constituencies keeping other bigger parties (in some cases DMK, ADMK, BJP!!!!) at bay.

Ok, after saying this that the clear winner was Mr.V, the interesting question is "How his party managed to contest in all 240 seats (to contest in all constituencies, there should be atleast 50-100 crores) when not even a single party in TN, even the dravidian party was not able to do that?"

This question always disturbs me....Before the "time" leads us to the answer, let me express what I think about this..(the next few sentences are opinion of my own) What if, Mr.V and MK felt that Mr.V party will separate the vote bank of AIADMK and not of DMK. So, there can be chances that MK and Mr.V had a secret pact and MK funded Mr.V and made him to contest in all constituencies and thereby AIADMK vote was split, making the DMK & Co winner.

So the conclusion is MK might have given money to Mr.V leading to the split in ADMK vote bank. There are high chances that this might have happened, as to contest in all constituencies for a fresh party is next to impossible unless he is "Sultan of Brunei". To make people work for him and spending money for party cadres is very much necessary to keep the party alive.
