Vote transfer from allies helped AIADMK win Assembly seats

Even though the DMK-led alliance swept the Lok Sabha polls in the State, it was not able to replicate the performance in nine Assembly constituencies.
A queer pattern has emerged from these constituencies. Most of the Assembly constituencies came under the Lok Sabha constituencies allotted to the alliance partners in the AIADMK front, indicating that the ruling party benefited from the vote transfer from its allies. While the DMK and its allies polled more votes in these constituencies in the Lok Sabha polls, the voting pattern seems to have changed when it came to the Assembly constituencies.
“The AIADMK leadership concentrated only on the Assembly constituencies since it was a do-or-die battle for it. They even went to the extent of telling voters to vote for the AIADMK in the Assembly constituencies, while leaving the choice to them in the Lok Sabha,” claimed a former DMK Minister from the southern district.
