Indian general election in Tamil Nadu, 1996
Encyclopedia
The Indian general election, 1996
polls in Tamil Nadu
were held for 39 seats in the state. The result was a landslide for the newly formed alliance between DMK, Tamil Maanila Congress
and its leader G.K. Moopanar, and the left parties who ended up getting all 39 seats. Post election, the newly formed United Front
, ended up getting all the seats from Tamil Nadu
, since DMK
and TMC
joined it, with outside support from INC
. The results in Tamil Nadu
is a reflection of the results nationally, where Indian National Congress
, ended up losing the most seats. This election was seen as redemption for Moopanar and TMC, since they left Congress, on grounds that they formed an alliance with ADMK, even though J. Jayalalithaa
, leader of ADMK, was accused of many corruption charges. This led to a disastrous showing, for ADMK and Congress in Tamil Nadu, since they lost all 39 seats from the last election, and TMC reaping the benefits by getting the most seats, in this election with 20 seats.
