G. Ramachandran All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam 118 The seventh legislative assembly election of Tamil Nadu was held on 28 May 1980. The election was held two years before the end of the M. G. Ramachandran (MGR) administration's term, as it was dissolved for the failure of the state machinery by the then President of India Neelam Sanjiva Reddy. Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam allied with the Indian National Congress (Indira) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam allied with Janata Party. Despite their landslide victory of 37 out of 39 seats at the general election in January 1980, DMK and the Indira Congress failed to win the legislative assembly election. AIADMK won the election and its leader and incumbent Chief Minister MGR was sworn in as Chief Minister for the second time. Background The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam allied with Indian National Congress (Indira) in 1977 parliamentary election. However, when Janata Party won the election and Morarji Desai became the Prime Minister, M. G. Ramachandran extended unconditional support to the Janata party Government. He continued his support to the Charan Singh Government in 1979. After the fall of the Charan Singh government, fresh parliamentary elections were conducted in 1980. Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam struck alliance with INC(I). AIADMK and Janata Party alliance won only 2 seats in Tamil Nadu in that parliamentary election. INC(I) won the election and Indira Gandhi became the Prime Minister.M G Ramachandran: My Blood Brother Attar Chand 1988 7 Gian Publishing House M. G. Ramachandran government introduced a ₹9,000 income ceiling in July 1979 to apply an economic criterion for reservation and exclude the “creamy layer,” and later advocated extending reservation to all categories, including the general category, on economic grounds. The move triggered protests led by K. Veeramani and aided M. Karunanidhi’s Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam in the 1980 Lok sabha general election, where the AIADMK suffered a drubbing; the order was withdrawn on 21 January 1980, raising the Backward Classes quota to 50%, following which the K. Veeramani led Dravidar Kazhagam supported the AIADMK in the June 1980 Assembly elections.https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/another-look-at-social-justice/article36527852.ece Another look at social justice The Hindu 18 September 2021 18 September 2021 17 September 2021 https://web.archive.org/web/20210917195244/https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/another-look-at-social-justice/article36527852.ece livehttps://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/the-aiadmks-surprising-stand-on-the-ews-verdict/article66135863.ece A surprising stand on EWS The Hindu 15 November 2022 15 November 2022 14 November 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20221114190612/https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/the-aiadmks-surprising-stand-on-the-ews-verdict/article66135863.ece livehttps://www.thequint.com/explainers/10-percent-forward-castes-quota-tamil-nadu-explainer#:~:text=Shocked%20by%20the%20defeat%2C%20MGR,from%2031%25%20to%2050%25.

G. Ramachandran government. DMK pressed the union government to dismiss the Tamil Nadu government. The AIADMK ministry and the assembly were dismissed by the union government on grounds of civil disorder due to Farmers protest for electricity subsidy.
