The [[1999 Indian general election]] polls in [[Tamil Nadu]] were held for 39 seats in the state. The result was a victory for the [[National Democratic Alliance (India)|National Democratic Alliance (NDA)]] which won 26 seats. After leaving the NDA, [[All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]], hoped to create some damage, but ended up losing 8 seats, compared to the [[1998 Indian general election|1998 Lok Sabha elections]]. This is also the first time that [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]], allied with the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]], helping them have power at the national level for the next 5 years with the [[National Democratic Alliance (India)|NDA]], before they joined the [[United Progressive Alliance|UPA]]. The [[National Democratic Alliance (India)|NDA]], ended up losing 3 seats, compared to the election the year before, due to AIADMK leaving the NDA, but the seats were made up, because DMK left the [[United Front (India)|united front]] and joined the NDA.
