Congress with 18 members is the largest after the main opposition AIADMK with 66 MLAs. Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi, the CPI and CPI(M) are allies of the DMK and the PMK and BJP are partners of AIADMK. Smaller parties like the Manithaneya Makkal Katchi and Puratchi Bharatham and Thamizhaga Vazhvurimai Katchi fought on the symbol of DMK and AIADMK respectively in the April 6 Assembly polls.
