MGR era

The party was founded in 1972 by MG Ramachandran (popularly known as MGR), a veteran star of the Tamil film industry, and a popular politician, as a breakaway outfit from the DMK led by M Karunanidhi, the then chief minister, owing to differences between the two.

In 1984, even with MGR's failing health and subsequent hospitalization abroad, the party still managed to win the state elections. Many political historians consider MGR's persona and charisma at this point of time as "infallible", and a logical continuation of his on-screen "good lad" image, strengthened by a mythical status of a phoenix. MGR continued to enjoy popular support in his third tenure, which ended in his demise on December 24, 1987. 1984 (MCMLXXXIV) was a leap year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Succession crisis

Subsequently, MGR's wife Janaki Ramachandran rose to the party's leadership and led the government as the state's first woman chief minister till the state assembly was suspended and President's rule imposed. The party, in the absence of a personality of MGR's calibre, began to crumble with infighting and broke into two factions. J. Jayalalithaa, a former Tamil actress, led the second faction. The state elections in 1989, saw DMK rising back to power with Karunanidhi at the helm. The faction led by Jayalalitha and Janaki merged in 1988. The DMK government was dismissed in 1990by the central government led by Chandrasekhar, an ally of AIADMK at that time, on accusations that the constitutional machinery in the state had broken down, .

Jayalalitha era

In the elections of 1991, ADMK was swept to power. Many political observers, have ascribed the landslide victory to the "sympathy-wave" arising out of the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi by suspected Tamil separatists fighting for a homeland in neighbouring Sri Lanka. The ensuing government was accused of large-scale corruption, but Jayalalithaa managed to hold on to power for a full-term of five years. But, public anger aimed at her as a result of the various corruption charges, ensured that she lost by a landlside in the next election in 1996.

In her second term as chief minister, Ms. Jayalalitha avoided the blunders she committed during the first term. However, she was plagued by the corruption cases related to her earlier rule and had to sit out of the government for some time. After having cleared by courts she became chief minister again. She is accused of arrogant behaviour and not respecting colleagues and opposition leaders.


She undertook economic reforms and took many unpopular decisions such as banning of lottery tickets, restricting the liquor and sand quarying business to government agencies and banning of tobacco product sales. She also took ruthless action against gangsters, trouble makers, striking government employees and brought discipline and law and order to the stage.
