The [[1957 Indian general election]] polls in [[Tamil Nadu]] were held for 34 seats in the state. The result was a victory for [[Indian National Congress]] winning 24 out of 34 seats. The major opposition for INC, the CPI, managed to only win 2 seats. This election also saw the entry of [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] in their first national election, who ended up winning 2 seats. Due to the nonrecognition of state parties such as the DMK, they were grouped under independent parties, which won a total of 8 seats.<br />
