Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) won the election and its leader M. Karunanidhi became the Chief Minister. It was his third term in office. The DMK was in power only for a short term, as it was dismissed on 31 January 1991 by the Indian Prime minister Chandra Shekhar using Article 356 of the Indian Constitution.

Ramachandran. horizontal 250 Split in AIADMK After the death of M. G. Ramachandran (M.G.R) in December 1987, his wife V. N. Janaki Ramachandran took over as Chief Minister. She lasted less than a month in power. The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) split into two factions, one led by Janaki and the other by J. Jayalalithaa. The undivided AIADMK legislature party had a strength of 132, including the Speaker P. H. Pandian. 97 of them supported the Janaki faction while 33 backed the Jayalalithaa group. Speaker Pandian was a supporter of Janaki. He did not recognize the Jayalalithaa group as a separate party. On 28 January 1988, Janaki sought a vote of confidence in the Assembly. The Jayalalithaa group abstained from the Assembly, and Pandian disqualified all of them. Earlier in December 1986, 10 MLAs of the DMK had been expelled from the Assembly by Pandian for their participation in the anti-Hindi agitation of 1986, bringing down the strength of the house to 224. The disqualification of the 33 MLAs of the Jayalalithaa group by P.H.Pandian further reduced the assembly's strength to 191. This enabled Janaki to win the vote of confidence with the support of only 99 members (with 8 opposing votes and 3 neutrals). Other opposition parties boycotted the vote - only 111 members were present during the motion.Kaliyaperumal M The office of the speaker in Tamilnadu : A study Madras University 1992 100 http://dspace.vidyanidhi.org.in:8080/dspace/bitstream/2009/4880/5/MAU-1992-055-4.pdf dead https://web.archive.org/web/20110721181440/http://dspace.vidyanidhi.org.in:8080/dspace/bitstream/2009/4880/5/MAU-1992-055-4.pdf 21 July 2011 dmy-allhttp://www.assembly.tn.gov.in/archive/Resumes/08assly/08_03.pdf The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, XVII Assembly Third Session (12 November - 22 December, 1986) Government of Tamil Nadu 2010-01-05http://www.assembly.tn.gov.in/archive/Resumes/08assly/08_06.pdf The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, VIII Assembly Sixth Session (27-28 January, 1986) Government of Tamil Nadu 2010-01-05 Though she won the vote of confidence, her government was dismissed by Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi on 30 January, citing the disruptions in the assembly. After a year of President's rule, elections were again held in January 1989. Both the AIADMK factions claimed to be the official AIADMK and requested the election commission to grant the "two leaves" symbol of the AIADMK to them. However, the Election Commission refused to recognize either of them as the official AIADMK and temporarily froze the "two leaves" symbol on 17 December 1988. Instead, it awarded the "cock" symbol to the Jayalalithaa faction (AIADMK(J)), while the Janaki faction (AIADMK(JA)) was given the "two doves" symbol.Bhagat Rasheeda 3 November 2004 The politics of governor's office http://www.blonnet.com/2004/11/03/stories/2004110300010800.htm https://web.archive.org/web/20041223235638/http://www.blonnet.com/2004/11/03/stories/2004110300010800.htm 2004-12-23 2026-08-02 The Hindu Business Linehttp://www.hindu.com/fline/fl1423/14231280.htm A political agenda, Frontline - 15 November 1997 4 August 2010 7 November 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20121107014313/http://www.hindu.com/fline/fl1423/14231280.htm dead All For You, Amma Outlook Magazine 13 March 1996Raising The Dead Outlook Magazine 24 January 1996 Thakurta Paranjoy Guha Shankar Raghuraman A Time of Coalitions SAGE 2004 235–236 https://books.google.com/books?id=pjzyK_gEBcwC 978-0-7619-3237-6 Jayalalithaa had handpicked the “Rooster” symbol, the same symbol C.

Commentators also noted that Jayalalithaa had earlier acted alongside M. G. Ramachandran in a sequence in the film Thanippiravi, in which he portrayed Murugan. In the days following the symbol’s allotment, the city of Madras saw widespread display of film posters featuring the two actors.https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/special-report/story/19890115-assembly-elections-1989-ghosts-of-former-leaders-dominate-poll-rhetoric-815642-1989-01-14 Assembly Elections 1989: Ghosts of former leaders dominate poll rhetoric 15 January 1989 India Today 15 October 2013 Coalitions The Tamil Nadu unit of the Indian National Congress initially decided to ally with the Jayalalithaa faction.

Eventually, the Congress also contested the elections alone. The DMK was part of the Janata Dal led National Front. The front initially included both the Communist Party of India (CPI) and Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM).South India Election Will Test Political Strength of Gandhi, The New York Times 21 January 1989 However, in the election only Janata Dal and CPM had a seat sharing agreement with the DMK. The CPI allied itself with the AIADMK(J).January 2010 This election attracted an unusually high level of attention at the national level. It was seen as a precursor for the General election of 1989, a test of Rajiv Gandhi's popularity and P.H.Pandian's popularity as a speaker claiming sky-high powers. The Tamil Nadu Congress (under G. K. Moopanar) was contesting elections alone after a gap of twelve years, and Rajiv Gandhi campaigned extensively, making multiple campaign visits to Tamil Nadu. V. P. Singh and Jyoti Basu, the national front leaders of Janata Dal and CPM respectively, also campaigned for the DMK-led front in Tamil Nadu.

It correctly predicted a victory for the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam in the 1989 Tamil Nadu Assembly election held after the death of MGR. It also projected that Jayalalithaa would emerge as the Leader of the Opposition. The survey further indicated that the faction led by V. N. Janaki would fail to win any seats; however, P. H. Pandian won from the Cheranmadevi Assembly constituency, marking a minor deviation from the prediction. Additionally, while some expected Congress leader G. K. Moopanar to win and become Chief Minister, the survey had ruled out such a possibility. During the same election, Ananda Vikatan carried out a reader-based survey by distributing ballot-style forms, which also yielded accurate results. According to its editor Tharasu Shyam, Tharasu similarly conducted opinion polls during the subsequent 1991 and 1996 Assembly elections, and their predictions were accurate.தமிழ்நாட்டில் தேர்தல் கருத்துக் கணிப்புகள் எந்த அளவுக்கு சரியாக இருந்துள்ளன? https://www.bbc.com/tamil/articles/cgee9xznre8o 4 June 2024 BBC tamil 3 June 2024 ta Voting and results The election for 232 constituencies was held on 21 January 1989. The turnout among registered voters was 69.69%. Elections could not be held for two constituencies -Marungapuri and Madurai East - due to technical reasons. For these two elections were conducted later on 11 March 1989. Since the two AIADMK factions had merged in February 1989 under the leadership of Jayalalithaa, the Election Commission restored the "Two Leaves" symbol to the unified AIADMK for these elections. The unified AIADMK won both the seats.Ganesan P. C.
