The DPA was formed, because DMK, PMK and MDMK, left the NDA mostly on the [[Ayodhya debate|Ayodhya]] issue and created an alliance that supported the UPA. The NDA paid a price for it, when their BJP-AIADMK alliance couldn't even win a seat in this state.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/2004/05/07/stories/2004050711380400.htm |title=The Hindu : Tamil Nadu News : Ayodhya one reason for quitting NDA, says Karunanidhi |access-date=20 July 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070913124508/http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/2004/05/07/stories/2004050711380400.htm |archive-date=13 September 2007 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
