Even as the nation gears up for the coming Lok Sabha polls, Tamil Nadu is gearing up to face assembly bypolls in 20 constituencies that could determine whether the AIADMK government would last its full term or will the state witness a change of guard.


The 18 assembly seats fell vacant following the disqualification of MLAs loyal to AMMK chief TTV Dhinakaran and Tiruvarur and Tiruparankundram constituencies losing their legislators M Karunanidhi and AK Bose, respectively.


Hosur MLA Balakrishna Reddy’s conviction has also resulted in one more vacant constituency, but it is yet to be announced.


In this backdrop, what would be the outcome if the polls are held today? Will AIADMK manage to retain its majority? Will Dhinakaran be able to get his supporters re-elected? What will determine the outcome of polls in these 20 constituencies?
