TN Election Results

The results are more or less in the expected lines save some surprises here and there with some close margins:

Unlucky Losers

  • Paruthi Ilamvazhuthi (DMK)

  • Saidai Duraiswamy (AIADMK)

Both of them deserved to be in the Assembly. Paruthi losing by 202 votes is especially heartbreaking.

Jinxed Loser

  • Raja Kannapan (AIADMK)

First with P.Chidambaram and now with Periya Karuppan. Both close calls and he has every reason to believe that he has won. But may be he is paying price for his past sins.


Ruing Losers

  • S.Muthusamy (DMK)

  • Sekar Babu (DMK)

Both switching sides to DMK from AIADMK only recently - will be ruing themselves what made them see the brighter in the other side. Surely both of them would have been the winning candidates if only they have stuck to their parnt party ....but ..if only they have known ......


Dismayed Losers

  • VCK Candidates

  • KMP (Kongu Munnetra Peravai) Candidates

Two caste based parties ideologically opposite to each other but on the same side drawing blank in the hustles. A lesson or two to be learnt especially for the KMP ...


"Fading Charm" Loser

  • S.Thirunavukkarasar

Used to win in his constituency in whatever situation - the Lion of Aranthangi -
is in the receiving end this time. Having spent time in almost all the major political parties in the state (except DMK) may be its time for him to surrender to JJ to resurrect his career.


Lucky Winners

  • SarathKumar

  • Thaniyarasu

  • Ernavoor Naryanan

All the above winning in the AIADMK's two leaves symbol with Sarath and EN defeating their more fancied rivals. And Thaniyarasu is likely to be a monster in the making. Let us wait and see.
Corporate Winner

  • Mafoi Pandiarajan

Having played the spoiler role in the defeat of Vaiko in the Loksabha polls, this time the suave corporate honcho ensured he was elected to the Assembly.
