Indian general election in Tamil Nadu, 1989
1989 election map (by constituencies) Green = INC+ (won all the seats)
The 1989 Indian general election polls in Tamil Nadu were held for 39 seats in the state. The result was a landslide victory for Indian National Congress , and its ally All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam , winning 38 out of 39 seats. This election marked the dominance of INC-AIADMK in Tamil Nadu , till 1996. The opposition party Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam failed to win a single seat, resulting in the party's downturn in national and state politics for the coming years. Because National Front won at the national level, Rajya Sabha member Murasoli Maran got a cabinet berth in the new V. P. Singh administration.
