The counting of votes for Vellore Lok Sabha constituency was held today (August 9). The election happened on August 5. DMK's DM Kathir Anand won

The Vellore Lok Sabha constituency went to polls on August 5 after it was cancelled following tax raids and cash seizures in April

The Vellore Lok Sabha seat was the single constituency that didn't go to poll on April 18 when the rest of Tamil Nadu was participating in the Lok Sabha and by-polls, following mass cash seizures on the DMK's side. The poll is scheduled for August 5 and Tamil Nadu chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami has not stopped himself for blaming MK Stalin

BJP president for Tamil Nadu Tamilisai Soundararajan stated that MK Stalin and the allies of the DMK are hellbent on maligning the image of the party.

 

Speaking to media, MDMK chief and Rajya Sabha MP Vaiko objected to the usage of Hindi language in the Parliament and claimed that former Prime Ministers would debate only in English in the House

At a time when the state of Tamil Nadu is reeling under severe water crisis, the DMK has decided to stage a statewide protest demanding the government to take swift action in tackling the issue.
 

The Centre’s draft on the three-language formula was met with strong opposition in the state of Tamil Nadu. However, now the DMK has risen with a demand of making Tamil an official language in Central government offices. The AIADMK has stated that this is Stalin parroting the words and beliefs of MGR and J Jayalalithaa.

Thoothukudi BJP candidate Tamilisai Soundararajan arrived in Chennai after the oath-taking ceremony of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. She said that the DMK was trying to portray BJP in bad light.

Addressing the media outside the Chennai airport, Minister for Fisheries (Tamil Nadu) said that MK Stalin and the DMK change colours and seek opportunities with those in power. This, in reference to Stalin attending YSRCP leader Jaganmohan Reddy's swearing-in ceremony.

A day after 13 Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) members took oath as MLAs, the nine AIADMK have also taken oath in Tamil Nadu’s Chennai.
 

The Tamil Nadu by-polls revealed that the DMK had won in as many as 13 constituencies while the AIADMK managed to keep its throne with nine constituencies on its side. The 13 DMK members have now been sworn in as the state’s MLAs.

The political scenario in Tamil Nadu has been on the boil ever since the demise of former chief minister J Jayalalithaa. The state that saw both the Lok Sabha and the bypoll results on May 23 suggested that the DMK had been leading by a huge margin in the bypolls, yet that wasn’t sufficient to stake claim to the CM post.

DMK chief MK Stalin can certainly take credit for the party's lead in 37 Lok Sabha constituencies of Tamil Nadu. With Modi's victory at the Centre, and AIADMK's chances of scraping through the possible floor test crisis post the bypolls, DMK's victory may just be bitter-sweet.

The DMK cadre in Tamil Nadu have begun their celebrations in the state. The party members celebrated by bursting crackers across the state. 
 

With just a few days left for the announcement of results for the Lok Sabha elections, here are the exit polls. Looks like the AIADMK in Tamil Nadu may face a setback, as the DMK-Congress alliance may have an edge, this time.
