Dravida Munnettra Kazhagam (DMK), as the Legislative Assembly election results suggest, is paying for its involvement in the 2G Spectrum scam. Actor-turned-politician Jayalalitha Jayaram's All India Anna Dravida Munnettra Kazhagam (AIADMK) swept the legislative polls in Tamil Nadu.
The AIADMK bagged more than 190 of the 234 Assembly seats, while the DMK won just above 30 seats.
Jayalalitha, who is set to rule as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu for the 3rd time, stated that the people of TN had voted out corruption.
With the
DMK's first family in the thick of the 2G Spectrum scam, the party's miserable defeat does not come as a surprise.
The Congress party, which competed in the elections along side the DMK, accepted defeat in the hands of the AIADMK, and wished Jayalalitha good luck.
