I am from the great state of Tamil Nadu and as mentioned earlier I am going to start my blog on election 2014 from Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu is the southern most state in the Indian union. Tamil Nadu is one of the leading industrial state in India. The capital of the state is Chennai which is the one the 4 Major metro cities.
The state has 39 Lok Sabha Seats. Since 1964 the state is primarily administered by the dravidian parties like DMK and AIADMK. After the defeat of the best chief minister the who country has ever given (including Mr Modi) Kamaraj congress party never able to regain its power.
Taking Ant-Hindi movement DMK headed by C.N Annaduari came to power. During the time of Anna the DMK govt was doing fine but then after the death came Mr Karunanidhi and MGR.
A difference of opinion between Kalaingar and MGR became a mainstream issue which led to the formation of AIADMK. MGR lead AIADMK and ruled for 10 full years. Since then it is the people of Tamil Nadu was alternated by DMK and ADMK. Congress has lost it touch for variety of reason one such reason is Dynastic politics which led to Factions. Some example are Moopanar and his son GK vasan, Chindambaram and his family including Karthi Chindambaram, Kumari Anathan and his family H vasanthakumar, EVKS Elangovan etc. This does not end so would be difficult to trace all roots.
I have not mentioned anything about BJP because all these years BJP is nearly unknown in Tamil Nadu and could not establish a base at all. I am not confident if they could exploit Modi's wave because they did not leverage Atal Ji's wave either.
Intersting thing during this election is some new parties like DMDK(which i loathe), PMK, IJK etc.The reason why i hate DMDK is
MDMK which is led by Vaiko who broke away from DMK is one of the other leader i like because he always stood for issues relating to Tamil Nadu. PMK is also an OK party because they are one who is favoring prohibition in Tamil Nadu. I am not sure it is possible atleast if they could get people to be ID ed for alcohol i would consider a victory.
Now with all these information I hope you have enough information about different parties present in Tamil Nadu. In the next post let's look at the alliance and which party contest in which constituency.

Intersting thing during this election is some new parties like DMDK(which i loathe), PMK, IJK etc.The reason why i hate DMDK is
- I do not want another cinema personality looking to leverage his popularity and rule and loot Tamil Nadu
- DMDK leader Vijayakanth talks a whole lot about dynastic politics and family politics but he always accompanied by his wife and she is the main person pulling strings in the party. This is double standard and was clearly evident when he lobbied for Sudeesh (Brother in Law ) for Rajaya sabha seat and now he is fielded from Salem
- After watching some of his press conference I am convinced that he is unfit to be in politics and when Panruti Ramachandran resigned from DMDK this validates all assumptions. I say this because Panruti Ramachandran was a strong leader during MGR period and was founding member of DMDK.
MDMK which is led by Vaiko who broke away from DMK is one of the other leader i like because he always stood for issues relating to Tamil Nadu. PMK is also an OK party because they are one who is favoring prohibition in Tamil Nadu.
