Parties and alliances

All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK)

In January 2014, All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam's general secretary J. Jayalalithaa stated that she would campaign and win all 39 seats by allying with CPI and CPI(M). Members of the AIADMK party declared her the prime ministerial candidate, despite rumours that she might support Narendra Modi.[5] On 24 February 2014, the date of her birthday, she announced candidates for all 39 Lok Sabha constituencies in Tamil Nadu.[6]

National Democratic Alliance (NDA)

The Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance, with Narendra Modi as prime ministerial candidate,[7] formed an alliance with Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK), Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK), Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK), Indhiya Jananayaga Katchi (IJK), Kongunadu Makkal Desia Katchi (KMDK) and Puthiya Needhi Katchi (PNK). The seats were allotted on 20 March 2014 in Chennai by the national president of the Bharatiya Janata Party and the former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh Rajnath Singh.[8]

Democratic Progressive Alliance (DPA)

The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam-led Democratic Progressive Alliance, under the leadership of M. Karunanidhi withdrew its support from the Indian National Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government on 19 March 2013 over Sri Lanka issues.[9] On 25 March 2014, DMK also expelled its south zone organisational secretary and the former minister of chemicals and fertilizers of the Republic of India M. K. Alagiri from the party for violating party discipline.[10] DPA formed an alliance with Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Manithaneya Makkal Katchi (MMK), the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), and Puthiya Tamilagam (PT).[11]

Indian National Congress (INC)

The Indian National Congress under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi stated that they would decide the prime ministerial candidate after the election. They lost their major ally, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam last year. So INC decided to contest alone in all 39 seats in the state.[12] The minister of shipping of the Republic of India G. K. Vasan and the minister of finance of the Republic of India P. Chidambaram, opted out of the election.[13][14]

Left and Secular Alliance (LSA)

After six rounds of seat-sharing talks with All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam for the Lok Sabha seats, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the Communist Party of India failed to bear fruit, and they opted to make an alliance of their own.[15] On 14 March 2014 the two parties held a joint press conference in Chennai, declaring that CPI(M) would contest nine seats and CPI would contest eight seats.[16]

Analysis

The ruling AIADMK, after winning 37 out of 39 seats, emerged as the third largest party in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Indian Parliament.[24] It is noted as the best performance by any party in the state since the INC, which secured 31 seats in the 1962 election. Prominent DMK leaders and former union cabinet ministers T. R. Baalu, A. Raja, and Dayanidhi Maran lost their respective seats.[25][26] AIADMK's big success can be understood from the fact that, despite being a multi-cornered contest between AIADMK, NDA, DPA, INC, and LSA, 33 seats were won by the party with a margin of more than 1 lakh votes.[27]

However, AIADMK general secretary J. Jayalalithaa ruled out joining the new government of India led by the BJP-led NDA.[28]

After the result of the 1989 and 1991 elections, it was the third time that the DMK had no representative in the Lok Sabha and also happened the third time for the INC after the 1996 and 1998 elections.[29] Similarly, the communist parties, the CPI and CPI(M), did not win any seats, their worst performances since the 1999 and 1996 elections, respectively.

The factors attributed to the sweeping result in favour of AIADMK were the implementation of various welfare schemes by the government led by J. Jayalalithaa and the hope people in Tamil Nadu had in her that she would protect Tamil interests.[30]
