Chennai: Tamil Nadu today gave an overwhelming mandate to opposition AIADMK combine which is set to win over 190 seats in the 234-member Assembly, proving psephologists wrong yet again.
Contrary to poll surveys, which predicted a neck-and-neck race, the AIADMK was well set to sweep the polls and form the next government on its own, after a dealing a crushing blow to the DMK.
Conceding defeat, Chief Minister M Karunanidhi submitted the resignation of his cabinet to the Governor who accepted it and asked him to continue till alternative arrangements were made.
The DMK might end up with 23 seats if the current trends continued, pushing it to the third spot after AIADMK’s ally and actor-politician Vijaykant’s DMDK, poised to win 25 seats.
