Opinion poll shows victory for Jayalalithaa in Tamil Nadu, no DMK sting this time

CHENNAI: AIADMK chief Jayalalithaa is going to win the assembly election due in state next month, according to opinion poll done by India TV and C-Voter.

The opinion poll shows that Jayalalithaa will remain unchallenged and there is no DMK sting this time. The opinion poll also has some bad news for BJP which, it says, will fail to get off the mark.

Jayalalithaa's party the AIADMK and its allies are projected to get 130 seats in the 234-seat assembly, while the DMK will have to settle at 70, the poll shows. Other regional parties are expected to fare better with the opinion poll giving them 34 seats and a seat share percentage of 25. The AIADMK is going to win 39 per cent of the popular votes, while the DMK will manage to garner 32 per cent of seat share.

The BJP has, however, given out a word of caution. "Never predict Tamil Nadu as a final outcome, it has always surprised India," BJP leader GVL Narsimha Rao told Times Now. The DMK has, meanwhile said it is too early to give Jayalalithaa an edge.

Here's a look at the seat share and vote percentage of various parties in Tamil Nadu polls:
