Tamil Nadu Assembly Election Results 2021: Trends Hold Key Positives for EPS

News 18  

Edappadi K Palaniswami, who was one among many seemingly servile politicians operating in the obscurity of J Jayalalithaa’s blinding fame, has managed to steer their party towards a tough fight, leading in close to 90 seats in the early hours of counting. The AIADMK has done fairly well across districts, particularly sealing spectacular leads in the western front, where Palaniswami is from. Palaniswami, originally a Jayalalithaa loyalist during the post-MGR split in the AIADMK, has been a regional leader at best, and up until February 2017 faced significant headwinds as he took over as chief minister. The AIADMK was in tatters, split into three fronts—Palaniswami leading one, O Panneerselvam leading another and outlying contender TTV Dhinakaran holding on to nearly 18 lawmakers.
