Jayalalithaa Victory

Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress today won a landslide victory in Bengal. The Chief Minister, however, lost to BJP's Suvendu Adhikari in Nandigram.

The Madras High Court today upheld the disqualification of 18 lawmakers loyal to ousted party leader VK Sasikala and her nephew TTV Dhinakaran. Last year, the assembly Speaker had disqualified the lawmakers invoking the anti-defection law after they wrote to the governor seeking the removal of Chief Minister E Palaniswami or EPS.

Hundreds of people came out on the streets of RK Nagar in Chennai as their newly elected legislator TTV Dhinakaran went on a victory march on former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa's home turf. In the recent by-election, he defeated the ruling AIADMK by 40,000 votes. Music, drum beats and dance were present along his route as he returned to the const...

TTV Dhinakaran, who pulled off a huge victory in Chennai's RK Nagar - the assembly seat represented by former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa till her death last year -- brushed off the accusations of the AIADMK and the DMK. Having a "tacit understanding" with the opposition DMK - which is the charge of the ruling AIADMK - was not possible, he said.

Sidelined AIADMK leader TTV Dhinakaran on Sunday won the critical by-election for Chennai's RK Nagar, the seat that was held by former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa till her death in December last year. He defeated his AIADMK rival E Madhusudhanan by a large margin of votes, serving a huge blow to Tamil Nadu's ruling party.

The result of the by-election for Chennai's RK Nagar assembly constituency, which fell vacant after the death of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa last December, were declared today. Independent candidate TTV Dhinakaran, who was sidelined from the AIADMK by the EPS and OPS faction, won the prestigious and much-sought-after RK Nagar as...

E Palaniswami, freshly victorious in a trust vote now challenged by the opposition in the High Court, officially started work as Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister this morning.

A day after DMK termed AIADMK's win in the November 19 polls in three constituencies in Tamil Nadu as an "artificial victory", the ruling party today hit back, saying it showed the main opposition party's obstinacy and tall talk instead of accepting the people's mandate.

In her first statement since she was hospitalised in September, Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa said today, "I have taken rebirth because of people's prayers."

Asserting that scores of people were joining her party impressed by her government's welfare measures, AIADMK chief and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa today welcomed nearly one lakh new entrants and exhorted them to work for its victory in coming civic polls.

On her first visit after her second consecutive election victory, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa today met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and submitted a memorandum demanding among other things formation of Cauvery Management Board and addressing the issues related to NEET in state.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today called up AIADMK leader J Jayalalithaa and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee to congratulate them on the poll victories in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, respectively.

Citing electoral statistics, DMK chief Karunanidhi today said AIADMK has retained power in Tamil Nadu by a margin of just 1.1 vote percentage and his party missed a clear victory by a narrow gap.

Tamil Nadu election results 2016 handed a massive victory to chief minister and AIADMK chief J Jayalalithaa, making a 32-year history. Her party's victory has deferred the 'yo-yo trend' of strong anti-incumbency politics in the state granting her a second straight term. In Puducherry, the Congress-DMK alliance is leading on 16 of the 30 assembly se...

If you believe in Exit Polls, they certainly indicate a big loss for the Congress, a huge victory for the BJP nationally, a fall from grace for Jayalalithaa, and a virtually untouched-by-anti-incumbency Mamata returning to lead West Bengal.
