To be honest, the one who succeed in TN election is karuna even with his 100seat victory.. Jaya has failed is the reality.
ADMK: In more than 40constituencies, ADMK won by less than 500votes. Vaiko played his role well for 1500crore from Amma and kept vijayakanth outside the reach of karuna. Plus the money power of mummy, every voter(including myself) got Rs300 to 1000, gave this battling victory to JAYA. Its most likely Dmk wiill win more seats than amma in the coming elections.
DMK: another reason for their defeat is the alliance with congress, karuna might have won if he went solo like Jaya.. The hesitation to vote congress from many including the party cadres, proved costly for DMK.
DMDK: hard luck for vijayakanth who lost his deposit and his alliance. Questions over the credibility of vaiko and MNK, failed them miserably. VCK thiruma's battling defeat by 87 votes would be disappointing but the 20% dalit population of TN will always keep him as a vital player.
PMK: even though they lost all the seats, with their whooping 6% vanniyar vote percent, they will be a strong player always.
NTK: Seeman's campaign failed to reach the common public, only had support from the social media youngsters. Outside seeman, the highest expenditure by a NTK candidate is 1.5lakh, which isn't even a peanut before Jaya and karuna, their campaign strategy is very poor without any media houses to back them. More than 1 crore fresh voters entered this time, but their willingness to support a new party was swayed away by the fear of voting to a loosing party in the first election they vote.
BJP: It's proved one more time, BJP will be an outsider always in TN. Modi, Amit Shah, 15 Ministers including smiriti, vengaiah,etc from the centre campaigned for BJP, but hardly won their deposits. Out of the 232 lost deposit in 228 seats. No matter who comes to campaign, until they have a strong face for their party from TN they will always get their 2+percent votes only. These many ministers, modi campaigned before a public in hindi that don't understand hindi. Come out of your hindimania before campaigning in the next elections.
A political gap is inevitable in the next 5years, 90+karuna is counting his last days. Jaya will hardly complete her 5years with her pathetic physical conditions, rumors claim both her kidneys failed and running only on dialysis, plus toes also removed due to diabetes.
To fill the political gap, DMK has stalin maran and family, ADMK has nobody. So certainly a chance exists for a third player in the coming elections to fill space of Jaya and karuna.
