But, this isn’t a decisive victory for the late Kaliagnar M Karunanidhi’s son. In a fierce battle, the ruling AIADMK led by the outgoing chief minister E Palanisamy has misplaced heroically. Insiders and analysts say his alliance with the BJP has gone in opposition to the AIADMK.

When EPS grew to become the chief minister after Sasikala’s jailing in February 2017, nobody gave him even an outdoor probability. Almost everybody had predicted that his authorities would collapse in a few weeks. But, he proved all of them improper by finishing his time period and holding the social gathering collectively dealing with a number of crises.
The EPS led AIADMK alliance was worn out in the 2019 Parliament elections after successful only one seat out of whole 39 in the state. His political obituary was written and most had predicted the doom of AIADMK in the Assembly elections.
EPS had roped in ace election strategist Sunil Kanugolu, who had earlier dealt with Stalin’s elections in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. Sunil modified the way in which AIADMK fought elections and took on his outdated buddy turned rival Prashant Koshor who dealt with DMK’s marketing campaign.

AIADMK was forced to join hands with the BJP. It has cost us dearly”, stated an AIADMK chief from Salem , EPS’s hometown.
Losing the election after giving a robust battle has elevated the stature of EPS in the social gathering. It is nearly sure that he’ll lead the opposition each inside and out of doors the Assembly.
Since the social gathering has narrowly misplaced the elections, majority AIADMK leaders and the cadre received’t swap sides and can keep collectively, ready for his or her subsequent probability. The BJP which is hoping to construct the social gathering in TN could have to lengthen the wait as AIADMK has managed to retain its base.
“If the EPS led AIADMK had misplaced badly, the shaken leaders and the cadre would have gone to BJP to safeguard their political pursuits. BJP can develop solely inorganically in TN. Now that isn’t going to occur. It is nice information for the AIADMK and Dravidian politics”, said a political strategist.
MK Stalin in his 60s has led the party on his own and has captured the power in a close fight. Since his party DMK has won just enough seats to form the government, he can’t afford to antagonize his alliance partners Congress, Left and other Dravidian parties. It will give them some breathing space and political importance in the state.
MK Stalin has certainly won and EPS has not lost badly. In defeat, Edapadi Palanisamy has emerged as a tall leader.
