1999 Election map (by constituencies) Saffron = NDA and Green = INC+
The Indian general election, 1999 polls in Tamil Nadu were held for 39 seats in the state. The result was a victory for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) which won 26 seats. After leaving the NDA, All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam , hoped to create some damage, but ended up losing 8 seats, compared to the 1998 Lok Sabha elections . This is also the first time that Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam , allied with the Bharatiya Janata Party , helping them have power at the national level for the next 5 years with the NDA , before they joined the UPA . The NDA , ended up losing 3 seats, compared to the election the year before, due to ADMK leaving the NDA, but the seats were made up, because DMK left the united front and joined the NDA.
