The '''sixth legislative assembly election''' of Tamil Nadu was held on 10 June 1977. [[All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (AIADMK) won the election defeating its rival [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (DMK). [[M. G. Ramachandran]] (simply known as M.G.R in the state), the AIADMK founder and a leading [[Kollywood|Tamil film]] actor, was sworn in as Chief Minister for the first time. The election was a four-cornered contest between the AIADMK, DMK, the [[Indian National Congress]] (INC) and the [[Janata Party]]. Earlier in 1972, M.G.R had founded the AIADMK following his expulsion from the DMK after differences arose between him and DMK leader [[M. Karunanidhi]]. On 31 January 1976, Karunanidhi's government was dismissed by the central government of Prime Minister [[Indira Gandhi]] citing non-co-operation for [[The Emergency (India)|MISA]] and [[President's rule]] was imposed on the state. Karunanidhi had been at odds with Indira Gandhi over his opposition to [[The Emergency (India)|Emergency]] and allied with [[Janata Party]] founded by [[Jayaprakash Narayan]]. Meanwhile, M.G.R had developed a close relationship with [[Indira Gandhi]] and supported the Emergency. M.G.R remained as Chief Minister until he died in 1987, winning the next two elections held in [[1980 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election|1980]] and [[1984 Tamil Nadu legislative assembly election|1984]]. This election gave concrete proof that Tamil people idolized M.G.R, as he won the State elections in alliance with Indira's Congress, despite the people hating Indira for implementing Emergency. Due to this feat, M.G.R inadvertently became an example for entry of famous actors to enter politics, with a hope that they too may become Chief minister one day. then Telugu superstar [[N. T. Rama Rao|N.T.R]] followed M.G.R's suit in 1983 and won the Andhra Pradesh general Elections to become the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. Since then, no other actor has been able to recreate M.G.R's achievements in electoral Politics.
The '''sixth legislative assembly election''' of Tamil Nadu was held on '''10 June 1977'''. [[All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (AIADMK) won the election, defeating its rival [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (DMK). [[M. G. Ramachandran]] (commonly known as M.G.R), the AIADMK founder and a prominent [[Kollywood|Tamil film]] actor, was sworn in as Chief Minister for the first time. The election was a four-cornered contest among the AIADMK, DMK, the [[Indian National Congress]] (INC), and the [[Janata Party]].
 
In '''1972''', M.G.R founded the AIADMK after being expelled from the DMK due to differences with DMK leader [[M. Karunanidhi]]. On '''31 January 1976''', Karunanidhi's government was dismissed by the central government under Prime Minister [[Indira Gandhi]], citing non-cooperation under [[The Emergency (India)|MISA]]. This led to the imposition of [[President's rule]] in the state. Karunanidhi had opposed the Emergency and allied with the [[Janata Party]], founded by [[Jayaprakash Narayan]]. M.G.R served as Chief Minister until his death in '''1987''', winning re-election in the [[1980 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election|1980]] and [[1984 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election|1984]] elections.
 
M.G.R's success set a precedent for actors entering politics, inspiring Telugu superstar [[N. T. Rama Rao|N.T.R]] to follow suit in '''1982''' and win the [[1983 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election|Andhra Pradesh assembly elections]], subsequently becoming the [[List of chief ministers of Andhra Pradesh|Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh]]. Since then, no other actor has replicated M.G.R's achievements in electoral politics.

===Split in Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam===
DMK gradually weakened in the years after the previous election due to several splits caused by the exit of many influential leaders including [[M. G. Ramachandran|M.G.R]]. The popularity of the party was further undermined by widespread corruption allegations which was purposely aired by [[M. G. Ramachandran|M.G.R]] who was in close relationship with [[Indian National Congress]] (INC). Cracks began to appear in Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam before 1971 election. [[K. A. Mathiazhagan]] was removed from office of the minister of Finance as he was considered a serious threat to [[M. Karunanidhi|Karunanidhi]]'s leadership. [[Sathyavani Muthu]], an influential dalit leader left the party in 1972 citing lack of concern for dalit issues within the party and formed [[Thazhthapattor Munnetra Kazhagam]]. M.G.R was expelled on 10 October 1972, in a disciplinary action for his attacks against party leadership for alleged corruption and dictatorial behaviour. He formed a new party [[All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]]. AIADMK won the [[Dindigul (Lok Sabha constituency)|Dindigul]] by-election held in 1973.<ref name="Duncan">{{cite journal | title=Factions and Filmstars: Tamil Nadu Politics since 1971| author=Duncan Forrester| journal=Asian Survey| year=1976| volume=16|issue=3| pages=283–296| jstor=2643545| doi=10.1525/as.1976.16.3.01p01703}}</ref> [[V.

The DMK gradually weakened in the years following the previous election due to several splits resulting from the exit of influential leaders, including [[M. G. Ramachandran|M.G.R]]. The party's popularity was further undermined by widespread corruption allegations, which M.G.R highlighted, given his close relationship with the [[Indian National Congress]] (INC). Tensions within the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam began to surface before the 1971 election, but were put aside to win the elections in a standing record landslide margin.  
 
[[K. A. Mathiazhagan]] was removed from his position as Minister of Finance, as he was seen as a significant threat to [[M. Karunanidhi|Karunanidhi]]'s leadership. In 1972, influential Dalit leader [[Sathyavani Muthu]] left the party, citing a lack of concern for Dalit issues, and subsequently formed the [[Thazhthapattor Munnetra Kazhagam]]. Treasurer of the party M.G.R was expelled on '''10 October 1972''' following disciplinary action for his open criticisms of the party leadership regarding alleged corruption and authoritarian behavior. He then joined and lead the [[All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (AIADMK), which won the [[Dindigul Lok Sabha constituency|Dindigul]] by-election in 1973.<ref name="Duncan">{{cite journal | title=Factions and Filmstars: Tamil Nadu Politics since 1971| author=Duncan Forrester| journal=Asian Survey| year=1976| volume=16| issue=3| pages=283–296| jstor=2643545| doi=10.2307/2643545 }}</ref>

===Coalitions===
===Coalitions===
This election was a four cornered contest. The AIADMK allied itself with the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]], while [[Indian National Congress|INC(I)]] and [[Communist Party of India]] (CPI) contested as allies. The DMK and [[Janata Party]] (JNP) contested the elections alone. The AIADMK did not field any candidate in the [[Usilampatti (State Assembly Constituency)|Usilampatti Constituency]] in support of the [[Forward Bloc]] leader [[P.K. Mookiah Thevar]]. Similarly the AIADMK also supported the [[Indian Union Muslim League]] (IUML) candidate [[M. Abdul Latheef]] in the [[Vaniyambadi (State Assembly Constituency)|Vaniyambadi Constituency]]. In the [[Indian general election in Tamil Nadu, 1977|parliamentary elections]] that occurred just three months prior to this elections, there had been two major alliances&nbsp;– the AIADMK led AIADMK-INC-CPI coalition and the DMK led DMK-NCO-JNP-CPM coalition. But in the months that followed the parliamentary election, these coalitions fell apart.<ref>{{cite journal|date=26 January 1980|title=Moment of Truth for MGR|journal=[[Economic and Political Weekly]]|publisher=Economic and Political Weekly|volume=15|issue=4|pages=141–142 |jstor=4368350}}</ref>

==Seat allotments==
During this election, a symbol allotment error in the [[Dharapuram Assembly constituency]] resulted in the “Two Leaves” symbol of the AIADMK being allotted by the Election Commission of India to an independent rebel candidate Ayyachamy who had earlier been announced by the party but later withdrawn. Despite an appeal from MGR to support his revised nominee Alangiyam A. K. Balakrishnan contesting under the “Lion” symbol, voters elected the independent candidate, highlighting the symbol’s popularity.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dtnext.in/news/tamilnadu/symbol-the-most-effective-tool-to-ensure-victory-shows-history|title=Symbol the most effective tool to ensure victory shows history|date=1 February 2019|work=DT next|access-date=1 February 2019}}</ref>

AIADMK

The sixth legislative assembly election of Tamil Nadu was held on 10 June 1977. All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) won the election, defeating its rival Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK). M. G. Ramachandran (commonly known as M.G.R), the AIADMK founder and a prominent Tamil film actor, was sworn in as Chief Minister for the first time. The election was a four-cornered contest among the AIADMK, DMK, the Indian National Congress (INC), and the Janata Party.

In 1972, M.G.R founded the AIADMK after being expelled from the DMK due to differences with DMK leader M. Karunanidhi. On 31 January 1976, Karunanidhi's government was dismissed by the central government under Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, citing non-cooperation under MISA. This led to the imposition of President's rule in the state. Karunanidhi had opposed the Emergency and allied with the Janata Party, founded by Jayaprakash Narayan. M.G.R served as Chief Minister until his death in 1987, winning re-election in the 1980 and 1984 elections.

M.G.R's success set a precedent for actors entering politics, inspiring Telugu superstar N.T.R to follow suit in 1982 and win the Andhra Pradesh assembly elections, subsequently becoming the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. Since then, no other actor has replicated M.G.R's achievements in electoral politics.

Background[edit | edit source]

Split in Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam[edit | edit source]

The DMK gradually weakened in the years following the previous election due to several splits resulting from the exit of influential leaders, including M.G.R. The party's popularity was further undermined by widespread corruption allegations, which M.G.R highlighted, given his close relationship with the Indian National Congress (INC). Tensions within the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam began to surface before the 1971 election, but were put aside to win the elections in a standing record landslide margin.

K. A. Mathiazhagan was removed from his position as Minister of Finance, as he was seen as a significant threat to Karunanidhi's leadership. In 1972, influential Dalit leader Sathyavani Muthu left the party, citing a lack of concern for Dalit issues, and subsequently formed the Thazhthapattor Munnetra Kazhagam. Treasurer of the party M.G.R was expelled on 10 October 1972 following disciplinary action for his open criticisms of the party leadership regarding alleged corruption and authoritarian behavior. He then joined and lead the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), which won the Dindigul by-election in 1973.[1]

In March 1977, V. R. Nedunchezhiyan and several senior leaders also left the DMK to form the Makkal Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam.[2]

Emergency[edit | edit source]

Emergency, which was declared in June 1975 had a mixed reception in Tamil Nadu. Jayaprakash Narayan's opposition movement did not receive much support in Tamil Nadu due to his association with the DMK government, which had its own trouble due to accusations of corruption. K. Kamaraj did not come in support of Jayaprakash Narayan due to his association with DMK despite the fact he disapproved of Indira Gandhi's actions. DMK executive council called the Emergency unnecessary and undemocratic on 27 June and party leaders condemned it in several statewide meetings. Emergency regulations and censorship were not strictly enforced in Tamil Nadu unlike in other states. All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and Communist Party of India continued to support Indira Gandhi. M. G. Ramachandran even visited Delhi to extend his support to Indira Gandhi. It was under these circumstances Karunanidhi's government was dismissed by the Government of India on 31 January 1976.[1]

Death of Kamaraj and Rajaji[edit | edit source]

The sixth legislative assembly election was the first election to the body after the deaths of two of the most prominent Chief Ministers and political supremos of erstwhile Madras State, Rajaji (pictured left) and K. Kamaraj (right).

Kamaraj, leader of Indian National Congress (Organisation), who remarked in 1972, "Randu Katchigalum Orey Kuttaiyil Oorina Mattaigal (both parties, the DMK and the AIADMK, are like fronds dipped in the same bog or tarred by the same brush)."[3] died in 1975. Indian National Congress (Indira) faction could not establish a foothold in Tamil Nadu until his death. After his death, Indian National Congress (Organisation) lost its identity as a party, and a large number of its members led by G. K. Moopanar merged with Indira Congress.[4] The remaining chose not to join with Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, but rather joined the Janata Party and later remained largely uncommitted.[5] Swatantra Party lost much of its power after the death of C. Rajagopalachari in 1972 and did not contest the election. Most of its members joined the newly formed Janata Party.[6]

Coalitions[edit | edit source]

This election was a four cornered contest. The AIADMK allied itself with the Communist Party of India (Marxist), while INC(I) and Communist Party of India (CPI) contested as allies. The DMK and Janata Party (JNP) contested the elections alone. The AIADMK did not field any candidate in the Usilampatti Constituency in support of the Forward Bloc leader P.K. Mookiah Thevar. Similarly the AIADMK also supported the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) candidate M. Abdul Latheef in the Vaniyambadi Constituency. In the parliamentary elections that occurred just three months prior to this elections, there had been two major alliances – the AIADMK led AIADMK-INC-CPI coalition and the DMK led DMK-NCO-JNP-CPM coalition. But in the months that followed the parliamentary election, these coalitions fell apart.[7]

During this election, a symbol allotment error in the Dharapuram Assembly constituency resulted in the “Two Leaves” symbol of the AIADMK being allotted by the Election Commission of India to an independent rebel candidate Ayyachamy who had earlier been announced by the party but later withdrawn. Despite an appeal from MGR to support his revised nominee Alangiyam A. K. Balakrishnan contesting under the “Lion” symbol, voters elected the independent candidate, highlighting the symbol’s popularity.[8]
