Arch rivals, DMK and AIADMK, are taking on each other directly for an eighth time in the elections to the Thanjavur Assembly segment, which remained with the DMK for most of the time. Right from 1977, when the AIADMK established itself as a strong force to reckon with, the Thanjavur constituency has witnessed a direct contest between the two Dravidian majors in 1977, 1991, 1996, 2006, 2011 and 2016 (when the elections for this seat was countermanded and held later) elections and in 2019 by-elections. In these bouts for the Assembly seat between the two, the senior party DMK won it four times and the AIADMK thrice.More Related News
