CHENNAI: The DMK is back in power in the Greater Chennai Corporation after almost 11 years. The party’s alliance bagged 178 of the 200 councillor seats, decimating the AIADMK.
In many of the wards, the difference between the DMK and the AIADMK ranged from 5,000 to 10,000 votes. And in at least nine wards, the BJP came second. The saffron party got the third place in a dozen more wards, mostly in the harbour region and southern parts of the city.
