A southern reverse
By V. Jayanth
CHENNAI,
MAY 13.
It has been a huge setback to the Chief Ministers of all the southern States in Elections 2004.
The Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, N. Chandrababu Naidu, was swept away by a wave in the Assembly elections, the results of which were announced on Tuesday. In the Lok Sabha results that came out today, his Telugu Desam Party was left with just five seats out of the 42 in the State.
In Karnataka, the Congress Chief Minister, S.M. Krishna, failed to secure a mandate in the Assembly elections, though it turned out to be a hung verdict. It remains to be seen if the Congress can work out a coalition arrangement with the Janata Dal (Secular). In the Lok Sabha, the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party came out on top in Karnataka.
The electoral story from Tamil Nadu and Kerala was identical. The ruling All-India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam in Tamil Nadu drew a blank in the Lok Sabha elections, while the Congress in Kerala also failed to win a single seat out of the 20 at stake.
