Encyclopedia
The Indian general election, 2004
polls in Tamil Nadu
were held for 39 seats in the state. The result was a victory for the Democratic Progressive Alliance
, which included the United Progressive Alliance (UPA)
and its allies the Left Front
which won all 39 seats in the state. DMK and its allies were also able to hold on to Pondicherry
, which has 1 seat, which allowed the UPA to win all 40 seats in Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry. The 2 larger partners Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK)
(16) and Indian National Congress (INC)
(10) won the lion's share of seats, with the junior partners Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK)
(5) and Marumaralarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) (4) winning the rest. The remaining 4 seats were won by the Left Front
parties. Due to the support of the Left Front for the government at the center, all 39 seats in Tamil Nadu, supported the formation of the UPA-led government.
The DPA was formed, because DMK, PMK and MDMK, left the NDA mostly on the Ayodhya
issue and created an alliance that supported the UPA. The NDA paid a price for it, when their BJP-AIADMK alliance couldn't even win a seat in this state.
