New Delhi: The 2021 Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections has brought an end to a 15year (three election) streak, during which the Bharatiya Janata Party didn’t win a single Assembly constituency in the state.
The BJP did not contest on its own and it did so as a part of the AIADMK-led NDA, but the fact remains that the saffron party’s candidates won by contesting on their Lotus symbol.
Having grown from nil seats in 2016 to four in 2021 is a significant leap for the saffron party. It must also be remembered that the BJP State President came a close second in Dharapuram, missing out by a little over 1300 votes.

New Delhi:Â With counting of votes underway, the DMK is currently leading in 117 and its allies in 19 of the state’s 234 seats, and the AIADMK alliance is leading in 94 seats.
As per the available data on the EC site, the DMK appears on course to emerge as not only the single largest party in the state but also to gain a complete majority on its own. The All India Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, which had also badly lost the 2019 Lok Sabha elections in the state â managing to win just one seat while the DMK-led alliance had walked away with all the other 38 â has shown little sign of improvement in these polls.
