Going by the results of the exit polls predictions, Tamil Nadu may end up contributing more seats to the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) kitty. On Sunday, many exit polls predicted that the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam -led Secular Progressive Alliance, comprising the Congress, the CPI, the CPI (M), the MDMK, the VCK, and smaller parties, would either sweep the Lok Sabha polls or win a majority of the seats in the state. The AIADMK-NDA alliance in the state has been projected to bag a maximum of 16 seats at best, but many polls predicted that it may end up with a single digit seat.
