Chennai: As the results of the parliamentary elections 2024 have come out, the DMK alliance has won 40 seats in Tamil Nadu, and the results showed that if the DMK-BJP alliance had contested the election together, it would have won up to 13 constituencies in the state.
In that way, AIADMK and BJP have lost constituencies like Arani, Chidambaram, Coimbatore, Cuddalore, Dharmapuri, Kallakurichi, Krishnagiri, Namakkal, Salem, Thenkasi, Tirupur, Villupuram and Virudhunagar. But the combined vote share of BJP and AIADMK in these constituencies was higher than the winning DMK candidates tally 23 seats. For example, in Chidambaram Constituency, VCK leader Thirumavalavan secured 5 Lakh votes. Next to him, AIADMK candidate Chandrahasan got 4 lakh votes, while BJP candidate Karthiyayini got 1, 68,493 votes. If the BJP an AIADMK had contested together, thelliance would have won Chidambaram seat.
Similarly, in the Coimbatore constituency, DMK candidate Ganapathi Rajkumar has secured 5,68,200 votes, AIADMK candidate Singhai Ramachandran has secured 2,36,490 votes and BJP state president Annamalai has secured 4,50,132 votes.
In the same way, DMK candidate A Mani secured 4,32,667 votes and PMK (in alliance with AIADMK) candidate Soumiya Anbumani secured 4,11,367 votes in Dharmapuri constituency. AIADMK candidate Ashokan has secured 2, 93,629 votes.
DMK candidate Malayarasan has secured 5, 61, 589 votes in Kallakurichi constituency. AIADMK candidate Kumaraguru got 5, 7, 805 votes and PMK candidate Devdas Wodeyar got 71, 290 votes.
Similarly in Tirupur Villupuram Virudhunagar constituencies, AIADMK and BJP together got more votes than the DMK alliance. Perhaps if the two parties had gone to the polls together, they would have captured at least ten to 15 constituencies in Tamil Nadu.
The BJP, which contested alone, secured 11.07 percent of the votes, the AIADMK got 20.49 percent of the votes and the DMK secured 26.49 percent.
But because the parties did not win even a single seat due to competing separately, at the same time the question has arisen whether the votes of the minorities would have completely gone to the AIADMK if the AIADMK had contested the elections together with the BJP.
The DMK-led INDIA alliance heads for a landslide victory in all forty seats including 39 in Tamil Nadu and 1 in Puducherry in 2024 Lok Sabha polls. Until the last few months, it was announced that the AIADMK-BJP alliance would continue in the parliamentary elections as well.
But the AIADMK had objected to Tamil Nadu BJP President Annamalai’s remarks on AIADMK supremo late J Jayalalitha and Dravidian stalwart CN Annamalai. Following the verbal conflict over this matter leading to AIADMK breaking ties with BJP just weeks before the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Tamil Nadu Lok Sabha 2024 Election result: The BJP, which contested alone, secured 11.07 percent of the votes, the AIADMK got 20.49 percent of the votes and the DMK secured 26.49 percent.
