In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Mahaghatbandhan, the Congress-led by DMK party MK Stalin, won 38 seats. The AIADMK and NDA alliance led by Edappadi Palaniswami won only one seat.

Now, in the wake of the defeat of Mahaghatapadhan in Bihar, the Congress is expected to hold a separate election in Tamil Nadu. But Dinesh Gundu Rao has opened the door for speculation by saying that the success of the Lok Sabha will continue in the assembly elections.
