The [[1989 Indian general election]] polls in [[Tamil Nadu]] were held for 39 seats in the state. The result was a landslide victory for [[Indian National Congress]], and its ally [[All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]], winning 38 out of 39 seats. This election marked the dominance of INC-AIADMK in [[Tamil Nadu]], till 1996. The opposition party [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] failed to win a single seat, resulting in the party's downturn in national and state politics for the coming years. Because National Front won at the national level, Rajya Sabha member [[Murasoli Maran]] got a cabinet berth in the new [[V. P. Singh]] administration.
