Chennai, Mar 24: Putting an end on speculations, the Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) led by Vijayakant joined the People’s Welfare Front (PWF) for the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections 2016. According to the seat-sharing agreement between DMDK and the constituents of the PWF — MDMK, VCK, CPI, CPI (M), Vijayakant’s party will contest 124 of the 234 seats in the State with the other 110 to be apportioned between the four parties. Notably, Vijayakanth will be chief ministerial candidate of the PWF.
For the first time, Tamil Nadu is witnessing three-cornered electoral fight with Jayalalithaa’s All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), Karunanidhi’s Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and DMDK-PWF alliance locking horns against each other. Thus, the state might get hung assembly as the votes are likely to be polarised. Almost similar situation was seen in 1989 Assembly elections when the electoral fight was between four fronts. (AIADMK, DMK, Congress, AIADMK -Janaki)
However the AIADMK registered landslide victory winning more than 200 seats for the alliance in 2011 Tamil Nadu Assembly polls, but in many seats the margin of victory of AIADMK was too close to its opponents. This election being a three-cornered contest, the margins may even be closer compared to previous elections. Hence chances of fragmentation of votes in many constituencies is perhaps very much possible.
Political analysts believe that AIADMK might com to power again in Tamil Nadu but their number would decrease. However the clear picture would emerge after campaigning starts and announcement of candidates.
