Those who followed the Assembly election results in Tamil Nadu in May 2016 would remember how at one stage, it was a close race between the two main Dravidian parties. While the DMK was able to run the AIADMK close in most regions of Tamil Nadu, the party of the rising sun set in western Tamil Nadu. Of the 50 assembly seats in seven districts in the region, the DMK managed to win only 8 and the Jayalalithaa-led AIADMK romped home in 42.
