Even though the national televisions predicted more than 30 + for the DMK-Congress alliance, Thanthi's predictions were only 20 for them. It also confirmed 2 for BJP and 4 for AIADMK. For the remaining 14 seats, its predictions cited uncertainty. It raised many eyebrows in Tamil Nadu.
The ground reality in Tamil Nadu:
After the demise of Jayalalita, AIADMK became the puppet of the BJP. The various actions and inactions of it caused an anti-BJP and AIADMK wave in Tamil Nadu. That is why even the national surveys predict 30 + seats for it in Tamil Nadu. But Thanthi TV predicts only 20.
