AIADMK shaped the destiny of Tamil Nadu under MGR and then under his successor and former CM Jayalalithaa from 1989 to 2016.
AIADMK and BRS chiefs
BRS and AIDIMK, two strong in Telangana and Tamil Nadu, respectively, now stand small and totally washed out, with no representation in the Lok Sabha. The BRS, which was borne out of the Telangana movement and represented its soul, came a cropper in the polls. Factionalism has broken AIADMK, which shaped the destiny of Tamil Nadu under MGR and Jayalalithaa.
