TN Election Results- A REVIEW.

Let me start with an earlier quote of mine in one of my previous post where i have mentioned that DMK's malpractices during the day of poll in TN was lesser than compared to what it use to be during their regime. It means that the capturing of polls or casting fake votes which are the usual happenings were lesser. That is why i left a smiley over there after the quote in my post on 13th. Because, i was expecting different results in TN than what the exit polls or the public were saying (Exit polls were so much against DMK-CONG alliance in TN). So that i could be able to continue my review after the results. But more than my predictions the results are so much in favor for the ruling party in TN. My expectation was that the DMK-Congress would get around 10to14 seats maximum in TN out of which 50% would be the results of issue of money to the voters, removal of a wide no of voter's names from the rolls, booth management and other techniques. But the results have proved that these kinda practices were more in no than what we all assumed. Which has resulted in almost 28seats for the DMK alliance. Let me mention few happenings on the day of count. In the Sivagangai constituency where Mr.P.Chidambaram of Congress was contesting, he was put back by a large no of votes almost through out the day of count but during the end of the count, suddenly there was a re count announced before declaring the victory of the ADMK candidate who was on the lead from the beginning and Mr.Chidambaram's Victory was declared by just a very marginal no of votes which was 3000 and odd. In Virudhunagar constituency the no of votes which were registered were 7,44,880 during the day of poll but the no counted was 7,67,563 during the day of count. The difference was around 23,000 votes and the DMK alliance candidate was announced the Winner with a lead of 15,000 votes over the Star Candidate Mr.VAIKO from the ADMK alliance. But it is the Madurai Constituency where the DMK candidate made the duty of the counters of votes so simple as he announced that he will sweep the poll easily with a margin of 3,00,000 votes soon after the polling began and the result was almost the same that he had a victory with 1,50,000 votes lead. These are just the samples. When everyone were so firm and clear about a fact that the DMK lead alliance will not top the chart this time, the results are the other way round. It clearly shows the amount game which was underplayed and other technical malpractices in the elections 09 especially in TN. Ofcourse anything can be done for the sake of stopping the communal parties come in to the power :) Anyways, hats off to the kinda Democracy which is prevailing in the Country today. JAI HIND.
