Jayalalithaa All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam M. Karunanidhi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam The eleventh legislative assembly election of Tamil Nadu was held on 2 May 1996 to elect members from 234 constituencies for the state legislature. The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) led front won the election securing 221 seats in the 234 seat Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, and its leader M. Karunanidhi, became the chief minister. In the tenth Tamil Nadu assembly, All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) held the majority with its leader J. Jayalalithaa as the chief minister. The elections resulted in a landslide defeat for the incumbent government, with the AIADMK winning only four seats. Outgoing chief minister Jayalalithaa lost the election from the Bargur, and became the first incumbent chief minister since M. Bakthavatsalam in 1967 to lose the elections. Background Anti-Incumbency The J. Jayalalithaa led All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) government, which had been in power since 1991 was beset with corruption scandals and public discontent. A series of corruption scandals, a growing reputation for high handedness and an extravagant public wedding for Jayalalithaa's foster son Sudhakaran all combined to erode the AIADMK support base and the goodwill she had enjoyed with the electorate in the 1991 elections.Bhagat Rasheeda Advantage Jayalalitha? 4 April 2001 http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2001/04/04/stories/040455ju.htm Business Line 2010-01-18 27 January 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20160127151105/http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2001/04/04/stories/040455ju.htm livePanneerselvan A.

On 11 April 1996, at Usilampatti, a slipper was reportedly thrown at Jayalalithaa and her vehicle was stoned. In Theni, Finance Minister V. R. Nedunchezhiyan was prevented from entering parts of his constituency, with similar incidents reported elsewhere. In response, Jayalalithaa intensified attacks on Karunanidhi, accusing him of being anti-woman, anti-national, and politically destabilising.Elections 1996: Jayalalitha feels the heat as Karunanidhi goes all out in his bid for power 15 May 1996 https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/cover-story/story/19960515-elections-1996-jayalalitha-feels-the-heat-as-karunanidhi-goes-all-out-in-his-bid-for-power-833177-1996-05-14 India Today Formation of TMC The AIADMK's alliance with Indian National Congress (INC), which had helped it to win the 1991 elections ran into trouble midway through the AIADMK's term. J. Jayalalithaa terminated the alliance and Congress served as the principal opposition party in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly. When the 1996 elections drew closer, it was expected that the Congress would contest the elections in alliance with the DMK. However against the wishes of the Tamil Nadu state unit of the Congress, the national congress leader (and then Indian prime minister) P. V. Narasimha Rao announced that the Congress would ally with the AIADMK. This led to a split in the Tamil Nadu Congress with a majority of the party workers and cadre forming the Tamil Maanila Congress (TMC) led by G. K. Moopanar. The TMC contested the elections in alliance with the DMK. Subramanian T. S.

The DMK-TMC front which also included the Communist Party of India (CPI) and the AIADMK-Congress front were the main political groupings in the state. Both fronts had a number of smaller parties as constituents. The Indian National League and the All India Forward Bloc were part of the DMK front, while the AIADMK front also had Muslim Leagues, Forward Block, All India Republic Party, Uzhavar Uzhaippalar Katchi and United Communist Party. Apart from these two fronts, there was a MDMK led coalition which included the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM), the Janata Dal (JD) and the Samajwadi Janata Party (SJP). The alliance between Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) and All India Indira Congress (Tiwari) (Tiwari Congress) led by Vazhappady Ramamurthy was the fourth coalition that contested the elections. Initially, before the TMC was formed, the DMK put together a seven party alliance comprising itself, PMK, CPI, Tiwari Congress and a few other parties. However, this alliance fell through when the Tiwari Congress and PMK left the front after differences between Karunanidhi and Ramamurthy. After this, Cho Ramaswamy (editor of Thuglak) played a vital role in bringing together the DMK-TMC coalition and obtaining actor Rajinikanth's support for it.

The delay was necessitated by the allocation of election symbols, the resolution of related disputes, and the printing of an extensive ballot booklet. While polling across the rest of Tamil Nadu was held on 2 May, voting in Modakurichi took place on 1 June 1996, where voters faced difficulty in locating their preferred symbols.Throwback to a time when 1,033 people squared off 1 May 2016 https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Coimbatore/throwback-to-a-time-when-1033-people-squared-off/article8543002.ece The Hindu Seat allotments United Front colspan="8" Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam DMK-led Alliance Party Flag Symbol LeaderSeats Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam 50px50px M.

SanthakumarBharatiya Janata PartyBJP22,81028.3110,41712.93 Impact and Aftermath AIADMK suffered a rout in the elections. Most of sitting ministers of the AIADMK government, including the chief minister Jayalalithaa lost their seats. Jayalalithaa lost to DMK's E. G. Sugavanam by a margin of 8,366 votes in the Bargur constituency. A year after the election, the AIADMK split, when a faction led by the Arantangi MLA Su. Thirunavukkarasar broke away from the party. The MDMK which was contesting its first statewide elections since its formation in 1994 drew a blank. MDMK leader Vaiko was defeated in both the Vilathikulam Assembly constituency and the Sivakasi parliamentary constituency. This election also saw the PMK electing four members to the assembly. The massive victory of the DMK-TMC-CPI combine in the assembly elections spilled over to the parliamentary elections. The coalition was able to win all 39 parliamentary seats in Tamil Nadu and the lone parliamentary seat in the nearby Pondicherry. This tally of 40 seats enabled the DMK-TMC combine to be part of the United Front government during 1996–98.Panneerselvan A. S.

Jayalalithaa stated that her close aide V. K. Sasikala was not responsible for the party’s electoral defeat, alleging that some party members were attempting to use her as a scapegoat to conceal their own failures. She maintained that Sasikala and her family had no role in party affairs or elections. Jayalalithaa further claimed that internal sabotage by party members denied tickets to contest, along with dissatisfaction among others, contributed to the defeat. Referring to her loss in Bargur, she attributed it to false propaganda and electoral malpractices. She denied corruption allegations against her, asserting her innocence and stating that she was prepared to face legal proceedings and prove the charges to be fabricated.இந்த நாளில் அன்று (07.06.1996)தேர்தல் தோல்விக்கு சசிகலா காரணம் அல்ல : ஜெயலலிதா 7 June 1996 https://www.dinamani.com/treasure/specials/indha-naalil/2015/Jun/06/%E0%AE%87%E0%AE%A8%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%A4-%E0%AE%A8%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%B3%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%8D-%E0%AE%85%E0%AE%A9%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%B1%E0%AF%81-07.06.1996-%E0%AE%A4%E0%AF%87%E0%AE%B0%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%8D-%E0%AE%A4-1127309.html Dinamani 6 August 2025 Cabinet S.noNameDesignationPartyChief Minister1.M.
