Tamil Nadu election results: In the 2014 general elections, AIADMK had swept 37 of the 39 seats in Tamil Nadu. The BJP has formed an alliance with the ruling AIADMK and would hope to compensate for some of the possible losses in the Hindi heartland.

Bharatiya Janata Party managed to win the lone seat of Kanyakumari in 2014. The BJP had only 5.5% vote share in the state. Ironically, Karunanidhi-led DMK could not win a single seat despite getting over 23% of the vote share. DMK has joined hands with Congress this time.

The southern state is expected to witness a two-way battle between the NDA and the UPA. AIADMK will fight on 25 seats, while the BJP will contest only on five. Another regional outfit Pattali Makkal Katchi has also joined the grand alliance and will fight on seven seats. The DMK will contest on 20 Lok Sabha seats while leaving 19 for Congress and other allies.
