Now talking about Tamil Nadu, the DMK is moving ahead in 12 of 22 seats that went on bypolls on April 18 & May 19.  The results for 22 Assembly seats in the state will fasten the fate of the ruling AIADMK government led by E Palaniswami.  It must be noted that in Tamil Nadu’s 234-member Assembly, a clear majority of 118 is needed to remain in power.
