BeautifulGame Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Funnily both Duraimurugan and VC Shanmugam trailing the votes. Hopefully both lose the elections. Will be good for Tamil Nadu. Looks like DMK will cross with 150+ and majority on their own. Decent face saving loss for EPS and considering most of their wins has been in Kongu belt and North TN (PMK support), it definitely strengthens EPS hands going forward . Hopefully he can get himself out of BJP control now and establish himself as viable leader for future. Because thats his inly realistic chance for coming to power again in future. Stalin obviously massive winner. But EPS has also scored a significant win. The question is whether he can establish himself based on this win.Not many OPS or Sasikala candidates are winning. Even Rajendra Balaji, Sasikala supporting minister is trailing. So time for EPS to grap hold of the party and establish control. Edited May 2, 2021 by BeautifulGame velu 1
ash Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Yes within ADMK it is very clear who the leader is now. OPS is out
BeautifulGame Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Both L Murugan from Dharapuram and Annamalai from Aravakurichi trailing now.

coffee_rules Posted May 2, 2021 Author Posted May 2, 2021 Just now, ash said: No and the people have voted to keep it that way. If the people have voted out ADMK. Why is the vote anti-BJP? Muddled thinking

There was not much anti incumbency. EPS in the last year gained a lot, especially with very good Corona management. The 10 percent reservation to vanniyars along with PMK alliance consolidated the vanniyar vote. And obviously EPS being a gounder, Kongu region was a sweep.. With all this, they still lost because of the BJP alliance. The main complaint against them in the campaign was that they were puppets. DMK and Stalin drilled again and again that EPS govt was adimai aatchi ( slave rule ) the main talking point of election was federalism and state autonomy. ADMK was forced to support NEET, CAA etc which the TN people are not in favour of. Pretty much every expert agrees that ADMK would have done much better, even might have won without BJP.

Vilander Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Can't wait for this tamasha to end, so that who ever comes to power can focus on the pandemic.

That's the travesty in this all admk did well on that regard. But stalin is finally getting his CM spot he has been waiting all his adult life hopefully he focuses on covid and controls it.

Just because ADMK didn’t lose badly, you say all this political wishful thinking. ADMK lost 2019, was called anti-incumbent vote for ADMK as Jaya had died and all factions of admk. Whatever it is , good luck to TN people, it shouldn’t matter to them
BeautifulGame Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Official: Kamal lost to Vanathi Srinivasan by 1500. That's a disappointment. Would have liked to see Kamal as MLA and see how he performs. Another disappointment is Duraimurugan winning in Katpadi and Selvaraj winning Tiruppur South. Big positive in Mafoa Pandiarajan and CV Shanmugam. Also already TV channels discussing whether EPS a le to become Opposition leader and will OPS allow it. Already Southern ADMK leaders are unequally blaming EPS for this loss Vilander 1
kepler37b Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Every other actor wants to emulate ntr and mgr to become political stars. And they are shown the reality. Kamal hassan bites the dust.
