Is coalition government inevitable?

A couple of days back during campaigning, DMK chief Karunanidhi surprised even his own party men by saying that the DMK was open to the idea of a coalition government in the state. This is for the first time, leaders of either of the two major fronts spoke about a coalition government in the state. It must be recollected that not a while back, former TNCC chief EVKS Elangovan was made to publicly apologize for his remarks supporting the idea of a coalition government. It looks like now both Karunanidhi and Jayalalitha are bracing themselves for a coalition government in the state. With opinion polls predicting a fragmented verdict, the two leaders have no choice but to acknowledge the reality. The coalition experiment has never been tried in Tamil Nadu since every of the previous election had a decisive verdict. But it looks like finally we have reached a situation where coalition government in the state looks inevitable.

    No coalition as far as Tamilnadu is concerned. There is going to be a single party rule. Wait till 11th May to know whether I am right or wrong.
