AIADMK's Performance in Lok Sabha Elections(1989 -2009)

The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), which has finalised tie-up with the Left parties for the Lok Sabha polls, will be, for the first time in over four decades of its existence, seeking a larger role in the national polity. 

This message was loud and clear, both at the party’s general council in December 2013 and more recently in the speech of Chief Minister and AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa in the Assembly on Monday Feb 03,2014

AIADMK Leader and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa in her reply to a debate on the Governor’s address in the House, the Chief Minister, speaking on the issue of Sri Lankan Tamils, had observed that after the Lok Sabha elections, her party would be in a position to shape policies at the Centre. More or less the same point, she made at the party general council in December. She had then said when the general council met next (December 2014), the party should be the guiding force for the nation. For over one and a half years, the party has been preparing itself to meet the polls, by holding consultative meetings in every Lok Sabha constituency.
