The [[2004 Indian general election]] polls in [[Tamil Nadu]] were held for 39 seats in the state. The result was a victory for the '''Democratic Progressive Alliance''', which included the [[United Progressive Alliance|United Progressive Alliance (UPA)]] and its allies the [[Left Front (West Bengal)|Left Front]] which won all 39 seats in the state. DMK and its allies were also able to hold on to [[Puducherry (Lok Sabha constituency)|Pondicherry]], which has 1 seat, which allowed the UPA to win all 40 seats in Tamil Nadu and [[Puducherry (union territory)|Pondicherry]]. The 2 larger partners [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam|Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK)]] (16) and [[Indian National Congress|Indian National Congress (INC)]] (10) won the majority of seats, with the junior partners [[Pattali Makkal Katchi|Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK)]] (5) and [[Marumaralarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam|Marumaralarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK)]] (4) winning the rest. The remaining 4 seats were won by the [[Left Front (West Bengal)|Left Front]] parties. Due to the support of the Left Front for the government at the centre, all 39 seats in Tamil Nadu, supported the formation of the UPA-led government.

The DPA was formed, because DMK, PMK and MDMK, left the NDA mostly on the [[Ayodhya debate|Ayodhya]] issue and created an alliance that supported the UPA. The NDA paid a price for it, when their BJP-AIADMK alliance couldn't even win a seat in this state.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/2004/05/07/stories/2004050711380400.htm |title=The Hindu : Tamil Nadu News : Ayodhya one reason for quitting NDA, says Karunanidhi |access-date=20 July 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070913124508/http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/2004/05/07/stories/2004050711380400.htm |archive-date=13 September 2007 |url-status=usurped }}</ref>
