Aiadmk Assembly Elections Puducherry

Tamil Nadu's ruling AIADMK has won both Assembly seats for which bypolls were conducted on October 21, with the Congress picking up the one seat that went for polling in neighbouring Puducherry

Sporadic clashes in Bengal and Tripura on Thursday marred the second phase of the Lok Sabha elections, in which 66 per cent polling took place. In both places, candidates came under attack and voters clashed with the police, alleging that they were not allowed to vote. Polling was peaceful in Tamil Nadu, where election in one of the 39 Lok Sabha se...

PMK founder S Ramadoss today asked party workers to strive for the victory of the AIADMK-led alliance in all 40 Lok Sabha seats in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry in the April 18 elections, and also ensure the success of ruling party candidates in the Assembly by-polls.

Tamil Nadu election results 2016 handed a massive victory to chief minister and AIADMK chief J Jayalalithaa, making a 32-year history. Her party's victory has deferred the 'yo-yo trend' of strong anti-incumbency politics in the state granting her a second straight term. In Puducherry, the Congress-DMK alliance is leading on 16 of the 30 assembly se...

Sarbananda Sonowal will be the new chief minister of Assam with the BJP winning Assam, while West Bengal and Tamil Nadu have chosen to retain their powerful women chief ministers, Mamata Banerjee and J Jayalalithaa.

After heated campaigning for over two months of peak summer, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Union Territory Puducherry vote today to choose their next governments. While the AIADMK and the Congress-led UDF are hoping for a comeback in Tamil Nadu and Kerala respectively, the BJP is hoping to get a toe-hold in the two key southern states.

Destiny of 344 candidates, including of Chief Minister and AINRC founder N Rangasamy, leader of the Opposition V Vaithiilngam (Congress) and P Kannan (AIADMK), would be decided in the election to the 30-member Assembly tomorrow.

Union Minister Prakash Javadekar today alleged that the successive regimes of Congress, DMK, AIADMK and AINRC in the Union Territory were marked by "corruption and bad governance".

Seeking to put a lid on speculations, the AIADMK unit on Sunday said it would not have any truck with the ruling AINRC for the May 16 Assembly elections in the Union Territory.

On Monday, the AIADMK announced candidates for 227 of the 234 seats in Tamil Nadu and all 30 seats in Puducherry for the May elections.

Forty-eight hours after she named them, AIADMK chief J Jayalalithaa has replaced 13 of her candidates for Tamil Nadu and Puducherry assembly elections. Sources in the party say "negative feedback from cadre" had triggered the changes.

Tamil Nadu's ruling AIADMK will contest all 30 seats in Puducherry in May on its own, AIADMK general secretary and Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa said on Monday.

AIADMK today got a shot in its arm in poll-bound Puducherry as independent legislator VMC Sivakumar who had extended his support to the AINRC government there, joined the party in presence of its general secretary J Jayalalithaa.

Stealing a march over others, including major Dravidian parties ruling AIADMK and DMK, the People's Welfare Front (PWF) headed by MDMK's Vaiko today launched its first phase of campaign for the coming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, claiming that it would provide a corruption-free government.

All 378 nominations filed by candidates for the April 13 Assembly polls here will be taken up for scrutiny on March 28.   Puducherry and its outlying regions of Karaikal, Mahe and Yanam together have a total of 30 constituencies.    While 285 candidates have filed nominations for 23 constituencies in Puducherry region, 58 w...
