DMK-Congress alliance will win in Tamil Nadu: Chidambaram
"The alliance of DMK, Congress and others will for sure get a good majority. A regime change will happen. I am totally confident that a DMK government will be formed," he told reporters here after casting his vote.
  Â
Chidambaram also charged the Election Commission with "failing to check distribution of money by AIADMK".
  Â
"Election Commission has failed in checking distribution of money by AIADMK men in Tamil Nadu. The AIDMK men had distributed money at several places," he alleged.
 Â
 "Information I am getting for the past 10 ten days confirmed money distribution," he added.
  Â
Though he welcomed flying squad raids and vehicle checks, he said they have "not prevented the distribution of money for votes and taking money for votes".
  Â
He said polls in Aravakurichi and Thanjavur constituencies could have been nullified after today's elections instead of postponing it to May 23.
  Â
The EC had postponed the polling in the two constituencies after seizure of huge sums of cash and reports of large-scale distribution of money to voters.
  Â
On the detaining of three trucks carrying ₹570 crore near Tirupur by election officials, the former finance minister said he was "not aware whether so much of money can
be taken to the bank".
  Â
"It is a rare news that so much of money was being carried in containers," he said while seeking an investigation into the matter.
  Â
Referring to the rains in various parts of the state today, he said showers on the polling day are indication of the "change" to come.
