1984 Indian general election in Tamil Nadu

The 1984 Indian general election in Tamil Nadu was held concurrently with the nationwide elections on 24 November 1984 to elect the state's representatives to the Lok Sabha, the lower house of India's Parliament. This election occurred in the backdrop of significant political turmoil and the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi earlier that month, which deeply influenced voter sentiment. The Indian National Congress, led by its state leader M.K. Stalin, capitalized on the sympathy wave generated by Gandhi's death, securing a decisive victory. The party won 34 out of 39 parliamentary seats in the state, further establishing its dominance in Tamil Nadu politics. The election reflected the complex interplay of regional dynamics, national events, and the electoral strategies employed by political entities.
