In December's edition, alliance of DMK and Congress was projected to win, leaving NDA and AIADMK biting dust. All 39 seats were projected to be won by UPA (30 for DMK and 9 for Congress), and despite AIADMK and BJP winning 26.4 and 9.5 per cent votes respectively, y were expected to come empty-handed.

projection for Tamil Nadu in previous edition of vember of National Approval Ratings was nearly same. DMK was projected to add one more seat to ir tally at expense of BJP, which meant former would win 29 seats and latter winning just one seat. or parties' seat-share remained same.

election year 2019 started off with India’s opposition appearing largely unwilling to acquiesce to Rahul Gandhi's proposal of Congress serving as a platform for regional parties to come toger in order to defeat BJP. Despite Congress successes in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, in Uttar Pradesh, much-heralded Mahagathbandhan turned out to just be a 'Gathbandhan' as old enemies Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati left Congress out, forming an SP-BSP alliance. Left on its own, Congress resolved to contest every one of state's 80 seats and proceeded to formally induct Priyanka Gandhi Vadra into party, appointing her and Jyotiraditya Scindia as General Secretaries for Uttar Pradesh. Elsewhere, former Gujarat CM Shankarsinh Vaghela is to join NCP, while Congress alliance with TDP in Andhra Pradesh is also in doubt. Meanwhile, BJP and Shiv Sena may have witnessed a thaw in ir relationship with Maharashtra government sanctioning Rs 100 crore for a Balasaheb Thackeray memorial. 

On issues concerning large numbers of people, government passed a constitutional amendment giving a green signal to provide 10 percent reservation in jobs and educational institutions to ecomically weaker sections in general category, while numerous agrarian schemes that needn't necessarily be farm-loan waivers have also been spoken of in lead-up to Modi government's final budget.
