Tamilnadu Elections 2011

Prior to the Tamilnadu Elections In a state where movie stars are worshipped as gods, the AIADMK chief has a constellation of actors in her alliance against the ruling DMK for the Tamilnadu Elections 2011. It will translate into a star-studded campaign by the Jayalalithaa camp with tinsel town heroes descending on the streets for votes during this Tamilnadu Elections for the year 2011.

Jayalalithaa, a screen goddess of yesteryears, entered tamilnadu politics with her mentor and co- star the legendary M. G. Ramachandran.She still retains her charisma and appeal among the masses of tamilnadu. However, it was her choice of alliance partners in the Tamilnadu Elections that has spurred her chances to return to power in the state.

Movie star Vijayakant's DMDK, touted as the game changer this poll season, is one of the biggest catches of Amma. Vijaykant's outfit cornered 11 per cent of the vote share in the last assembly elections and after ploughing a lonely furrow, the DMDK has emerged as a force to reckon with. Vijaykant, nicknamed ' Captain' by admirers, has shelved his dream of becoming the chief minister and teamed up with Amma after waiting in vain to forge a third front with the Congress.
