The pollsters got it right since day one when they said that the DMK would come to power in Tamil Nadu. The DMK making a return after 10 years bagged 133 of the 234 seats, while the AIADMK won 66, which according to many was an impressive performance.
The BJP and Congress won 4 and 18 seats respectively. Kamal Hassan who launched his political party was closely watched, but failed to make any impact in the state. To find out how the battle went down, do follow our Tamil Nadu Election page.
