ADMK regime formed against majority wish!

If we say that the ADMK government led by Chief Minister Jayalalitha in Tamil Nadu was formed contrary to the expectation of the majority of people who voted and that there was nothing for the ADMK minions to feel proud of that, they would certainly be provoked. But these were not our word but those of their colleague in Puducherry.
Addressing the Puducherry Assembly, ADMK Legislature Party leader A. Anbalagan said, “Over 65 per cent of voters had voted against the Congress-DMK alliance government in the just concluded Assembly polls.” Hence the ruling alliance MLAs should be keeping in mind this fact as they go about their duty, he said. Contrary to the expectation of the majority of people who voted, a government was formed. There is nothing to be proud of that, he pointed out. Anbalagan said Speaker should respect the views of Opposition and protect the values of Assembly.
What applies to Puducherry also applies to Tamil Nadu.
Borrowing the words of ADMK Legislature Party leader in Puducherry Assembly A. Anbalagan, the DMK Legislature Party leader in Tamil Nadu Assembly can say, “Over 60 per cent of voters had voted against the ADMK government in the just concluded Assembly polls.” Hence the ruling party MLAs should be keeping in mind this fact as they go about their duty. Contrary to the expectation of the majority of people who voted, a government was formed. There is nothing to be proud of that, he could point out and say that the Speaker should respect the views of Opposition and protect the values of Assembly.
IN the Assembly elections, the ADMK alliance contested in all 234 constituencies in ‘two leaves’ symbol, whereas after allocating 41 seats to the Congress Party, 5 seats to IUML, 4 seats each to  Manitha Neya Makkal Katchi and Puthiya Thamizhagam, the DMK contested in its ‘rising sun’ symbol only in 180 seats. Even in these 180 seats, after allocating 3 seats to Makkal DMDK and one seat each to Perunthalaivar Makkal Katchi, Vivsayaigal Thozhilalar Katchi and Samugasamaththuva Padai, the DMK contested only in 174 seats.
Of the official results announced for 232 constituencies, the ADMK secured 134; DMK alliance secured 98 seats, which included DMK 89, Congress 8 and IUML one. In 172 constituencies where there was a direct fight between ADMK and DMK, the DMK emerged victorious in 89 seats and ADMK won only 83 seats. However, ADMK won in 51 out of the 60 seats contested by the allies of DMK including the Congress and IUML. The daily ‘Daily Thanthi’ reported in detail that the DMK suffered loss due to allocation of more seats to alliance parties.
 A detailed analysis was published by ‘The Hindu’ on May 20 under the heading, “DMK ahead of ADMK in ‘contested vote share’- Party’s performance was pulled down by that of its allies, including Congress” in which it noted that “While DMK polled 41.05% in 176 seats, the ADMK polled 40.78% in 232 seats”.
In the 2011 general elections, the votes secure by ADMK alliance was 1,90,81,571 and the votes secured by DMK alliance was 1,35,13,816. The difference between the two alliances in 2011 general elections was 55,67,755 votes. In this 2016 Assembly elections, the ADMK alliance secured 1,76,17,060 votes, 14,64,511 votes lesser than 2011 elections. Whereas the DMK alliance now secured 1,71,75,374 votes, 36,61,558 votes more than what it secured in 2011 elections. Then who had won?
The ADMK has retained power in the State by a narrow margin of 1.1 vote percentage. DMK missed a decisive victory by a narrow gap. The ruling party had got only 4,41,646 votes more than the DMK and the opportunity to govern was missed by a narrow margin.  While ADMK and allies polled 1,76,17,060 votes, DMK and its allies got 1,71,75,374. That is, ADMK has got the opportunity to form government by a margin of 1.1 per cent and it is the truth.
As a whole the ADMK candidates had won in very narrow margin of less than 100 votes in 2 constituencies, less than 101-1000 votes in 8 constituencies, from 1001-5000 votes in 22 constituencies and from 5001-10000 votes in 53 constituencies.
Hence, what applies to Puducherry also applies to Tamil Nadu. Over 60 per cent of voters had voted against the ADMK government in the just concluded Assembly polls. Hence the ruling party MLAs should keep in mind this fact as they go about their duty. Contrary to the expectation of the majority of people who voted, the ADMK government was formed. There is nothing to be proud of that!
