TN Assembly Elections 2011 - Kmhouseindia's Prediction of expected results
The ruling party DMK faces the election against the AIADMK combine which arithmaticlly holds a stronger alliance in terms of percentage of votes polled in earlier elections by the respective alliance partners.
It is said that AIADMK combine will get around 160-170 out of the 234 seats because of strong alliance partners who together can garner around 47-50% votes
Whereas DMK combine is expected to get around 70 seats only out of the 234 seats for the assembly
.This is so because of several factors like-
April 13 2011 - Casted My Vote
Celebrities and leaders casting vote
However,with Union Minister and DMKs strongman M K Alagiri making the winning majority of the seats from this region as a prestige issue, stakes are high for the ruling party in the region.

.This is so because of several factors like-
- Public perception of DMK being most corrupt
- Public Perception of DMK top leadership favouring and nourishing their kith & kin
- DMK Govt's failure to control price rise
- DMK Govt's inaction in respect of Srilankan Tamil Massacre & Tamil Fisherman Killing by SriLanka
- DMK Govt focus only on giving freebies to the public instead of long-term beneficial economic measures
- Widespread Powercuts affecting the commonman as well as business.
