The [[1951 Indian general election]] was the first democratic national election held in [[India]] after Independence, and the polls in [[Tamil Nadu]] were held for 62 seats. This state had the second largest number of seats, after [[Uttar Pradesh]], because part of current [[Andhra Pradesh]] was part of the state of Madras. The result was a victory for [[Indian National Congress]] winning 35 out of the 75 seats. While the remaining seats were won by left and independent parties, opposed to Congress.<br />
