The BJP is set for a return to the Tamil Nadu Assembly after two decades. At the time of going to print, it either won or was leading in Tirunelveli, Nagercoil, Modakurichi and Coimbatore South. In 2001, it won four seats as part of the DMK-led NDA. BJP national general secretary in charge of Tamil Nadu C.T. Ravi said the party was happy to have its MLAs back in the Assembly, though it expected to win more seats. With the trend in favour of the DMK, the BJP was happy with the number of seats it had won, he told The Hindu. “The AIADMK strongly supported us and we also supported it. Had the trend been neutral, we would have won more seats,” he said.
BJP MP accuses Congress, DMK, and BRS of divisive politics over delimitation process and census implementation.
