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. The relations between the two parties have since been heavily tempered with mutual contempt. 1972 was a leap year that started on a Saturday. ...

The government led by DMK, was dismissed by a Central promulgation, after MGR filed a petition seeking enquiry into corruption charges. The party came to power in 1977 after trouncing DMK in the subsequent elections to the legislative assembly in the state and MGR became the Chief Minister. The tables were turned in 1980, when the government under MGR was dismissed, by the Congress government at the centre, which was an ally of DMK. However, AIADMK bounced back to power in the elections. Indian National Congress (also known as the Congress Party, abbreviated INC) is a major political party in India. ...

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. December 24 is the 358th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar (359th in leap years). ... 1987 is a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Subsequently, MGR's wife Janaki Ramachandran rose to the party's leadership and led the government as the state's first woman chief minister for the rest of its tenure till 1989. 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 government was dismissed in 1990, when the government was accused of harbouring Tamil separatists operating in Sri Lanka. Janaki, as she was popularly known, was married to and starred opposite M.G. Ramachandran, the Tamil actor-politician who for many years was chief minister of the state. ...

In the elections of 1991, the faction led by Jayalalithaa, united with the main party, and 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. 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. DMK, in a see-saw battle, was at the rewarded end, and held power till 2001, which once again saw Jayalalithaa regaining the mantle. Rajiv Gandhi (राजीव गान्धी) (August 20, 1944 – May 21, 1991), the first son of Indira and Feroze Gandhi, was the Prime Minister of India from his mothers death on October 31, 1984 until his resignation on December 2, 1989 following the general election defeat. ...
