The [[1967 Indian general election]] polls in [[Tamil Nadu]] were held for 39 seats in the state. The result was a huge victory for [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]], led by [[C.N. Annadurai]] and its ally [[Swatantra Party]], led by [[C. Rajagopalachari]]. Madras was the first and one of few states, where a non-Congress Party won more seats than Congress in a state. A huge wave of anti-incumbency against the [[Indian National Congress|Congress]] was present in Madras, 1967, which led to the defeat of the popular leader [[K. Kamaraj]] and his party in both the state and national elections, won by DMK and its allies. After this election, the DMK supported the Congress party under [[Indira Gandhi]].
