Who will storm the Fort?


The polling for TN Assembly Elections 2011 is due in a day and this is an addendum to yesterday’s deadline beating post ‘Who will rule the Fort?’, since the Tamil news daily Dinamalar has published (hopefully) the last projection for 11 of the 16 constituencies of Chennai today.  Again, just a day before polling, 2 constituencies given by Junior Vikatan to DMK combine - Velachery and Virugambakkam have been termed ‘too-close-to-call’.

Which takes the number of ‘too-close-to-call’ constituencies to 52;  Thankfully there were no other surprises with the ‘given-to-opposition’ seats remaining at 18, but increasing the total ‘confusing’ seats to 70 (30%).

Hence the spreadsheet has been tweaked accordingly.  Also for better presentation, the ‘Others’ columns, one each for the DMK and ADMK combines and one for independent, have been merged.  As it is their total was only 5. 
  • The DMK alliance has 1 - KMK at Sulur.
  • The ADMK alliance has 3 - MMK at Chepauk, Ambur, and Ramanathapuram.
  • One DMK rebel as Independent at Hosur.
Of the five, 3 have been termed ‘too-close-to-call’
  • Ambur,
  • Hosur, and
  • Sulur.
Hence it was pointless to allot 3 columns for ‘Others’ and those have been merged into one single column.



Don’t forget to read the previous post, which covers the situation in depth.
