Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections: TN BJP Vice President K Annamalai Trailing In Aravakurichi Constituency
Former IPS officer and BJP poster boy, K Annamalai, addressing a gathering in Tamil Nadu.
K Annamalai, former IPS officer who joined the BJP last year, is trailing by around 200 votes at the Aravakurichi assembly constituency.
NR Elango of the DMK has developed a slight lead over the BJP state unit vice-president.
However, the tables could turn pretty quickly over here given that multiple rounds of counting are yet to be completed.
Overall, early trends suggest that DMK+ has crossed past the majority mark and is currently holding sway in 139 seats in the assembly polls.
The counting of votes for the 234-member Legislative Assembly in Tamil Nadu began at 8 am on Sunday amidst strict Covid protocol. A party would require at least 118 seats to win the election.
The E Palaniswami-led AIADMK, who has allied with BJP, seeks to retain power for the third time in a row but faces a stiff challenge from M K Stalin-led DMK.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
