"While the BJP did not win a single seat in Tamil Nadu the NDA alliance garnered an 18.2% vote share and the BJP had an individual vote share of 11.2%. In 78 of the 234 assembly constituencies, the BJP has secured the second position, pushing AIADMK to number 3," cop-turned-firebrand politician and TN BJP chief K Annamalai told Bala Chauhan in an interview.
