The fifteenth legislative assembly election was held on 13 April 2011 to elect members from 234 constituencies in Tamil Nadu. Results were released on 13 May 2011. Two major parties Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) faced the election as coalitions of multiple parties with the DMK front consisting of 8 parties and the AIADMK of 11 parties. AIADMK front won the election, winning in 203 constituencies, with the AIADMK party itself winning 150 seats thus securing a simple majority to be able to form the government without the support of its coalition partners.

Swearing-in[]

Jayalalitha submitted her unanimous election as the leader of ADMK legislature party to Governor Surjit Singh Barnala on 15 May 2011.[1] She was sworn-in as Chief Minister along with 33 other ministers at the Madras University centenary auditorium on 16 May 2011 by the Governor, the same venue she took oath in 1991 when she first became chief minister. She and all other ministers took oath in Tamil. The ceremony was attended by then Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Communist Party of India (CPI) General Secretary A. B. Bardhan among others.[2]

Achievements[]

Relocation of assembly building[]

In one of the first actions following her re-election as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Jayalaitha proceeded to relocate the assembly and secretariat from the newly constructed building back to Fort St. George. The assembly building was constructed during M. Karunanidhi's tenure and costed over 1000 crores of rupees. This move was opposed by Pattali Makkal Katchi,[3] Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and Dravidar Kazhagam.[4] A public interest litigation has been filed in Chennai high court by lawyer G. Krishnamoorthy alleging that the relocation was against public interest and unmindful of the large amount of tax money used for the construction of the new building.[5]

Amma Unavagam[]

Amma Unavagam is a food subsidization program by the state government.

Tamizhaga arasu madikanini thittam[]

Tamizhaga arasu madikanini thittam is a scheme in Tamil Nadu to distribute free laptops to students of secondary schools and colleges.[6] The scheme was implemented beginning in September 2011 to fulfill a campaign promise of Chief Minister Jayalalithaa of the AIADMK.[7]
