Thefirst legislative assembly Electionto theMadras statebased onuniversal adult suffragewas held in 27 March 1952. This was the first election held in Madras state after theIndian Independence.This election was officially known as the 1951 Madras State Election, even though through delays, actual voting didn't take place until early 1952.
No single party obtained a simple majority to form an independent government.C. Rajagopalachari(Rajaji) of theIndian National Congressbecame the Chief Minister after a series of re-alignments among various political parties and Independents. TheTeluguspeaking regions of Madras state split to form theAndhra statein 1953, leading to the consolidation of the non-Brahmin Congress faction under the leadership ofK. Kamaraj.Faced with internal dissent and heavy opposition to hisHereditary education policy,Rajaji resigned in 1954. In the ensuing leadership struggle, Kamaraj defeated Rajaji's chosen successorC. Subramaniamand became the Chief Minister on 31 March 1954.
Background
[edit]Factionalism in Congress
[edit]In the years after the1946 election,factionalism was common place in the Congress party in Madras. During 1946–51, three different Congress chief ministers headed the Madras government.T. Prakasamwas the Chief Minister of Madras presidency immediately after the 1946 election. As a Telugu speaker, he was often at odds with the Madras Provincial Congress Committee presidentK. Kamaraj.Kamaraj forced the resignation of Prakasam within a year. In 1947,Omandur Ramaswamy Reddiar,Kamaraj's nominee, became the Chief Minister. When Reddiar showed signs of independence, Kamaraj engineered his removal by a vote of no confidence in Congress Legislature Party on 31 March 1949.P. S. Kumaraswamy Raja,the next Chief Minister who formed the Government on 6 April 1949 was believed to be a stooge of Kamaraj. He retained the chiefministership till the 1952 election when he lost his seat inSrivilliputhur constituency.[1][2]The main factions within the Madras Congress Party during this period were: 1) the Andhra (Prakasam) faction, 2) the Rajaji faction 3) Kamaraj faction (Tamil non-Brahmin members) and 4)theBezawada Gopala ReddyandKala Venkata Raofaction supported by the All India Congress Committee presidentPattabhi Sitaramayya[3]
The Prakasam faction later split from the Congress to form theHyderabad State Praja Party.The party merged with theKisan Mazdoor Praja Partyin June 1951.
Communists in electoral process
[edit]In 1951, theCommunist Party of India(CPI) which had been waging an armed struggle during 1948–51, gave up the attempt to wrest power through force and joined the political mainstream. At the 1951 congress of the party, "People's Democracy" was replaced by "National Democracy" as the main slogan of the party and the decision was made to contest the elections. One of the armed movements supported by the CPI was theTelangana Rebellionin theprincely stateofHyderabad.Though the rebellion was crushed by 1951, the communists retained widespread support in the neighboringAndhraregion. This was due to their policy of linguistic nationalism (the demand for a separate state ofTeluguspeaking people) and their support base amongst theKamma castewhich was opposed to theReddysupported Congress. Till then, all the previous elections had been conducted on a limited franchise based on property ownership qualifications. The election of 1951 was the first one to be based on a universal franchise. The Communists had the support of most of the first time voters – landless peasants and agricultural labourers.[4][5][6][7][8]They also had a strong presence in the agrarian district ofTanjorein Tamil Nadu where they were supported by the Dravidar Kazhagam.[9]
Split in the Dravidian Movement
[edit]TheDravidar Kazhagam(DK), the main opposition party to the Congress in the Tamil speaking areas of the state split in 1949.C. N. Annadurai,once a protege of the DK leaderPeriyar E. V. Ramasamy,quit the DK and founded a new party –Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam(DMK). Both the DK and the DMK were secessionist advocates forDravidistan- a separate state for Dravidians.[10][11]Some of the old guard of theJustice party,which had been renamed as Dravidar Kazhagam in 1944, refused to accept Periyar's leadership. Led byP. T. Rajan,they insisted they were still the real Justice party and contested the 1952 elections under the "Scales" symbol.
Constituencies
[edit]According to the Delimitation of Parliamentary and Assembly Constituencies (Madras) Order, 1951, made by the President under sections 6 and 9 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950, the Madras Legislative Assembly consisted of 375 seats to be filled by election, distributed in 309 constituencies and 62 two-member constituencies in each of which a seat had been reserved for Scheduled Castes and four two-member constituencies in each of which a seat had been reserved for Scheduled Tribes. Three seats were uncontested. The elections were conducted for the remaining 372 seats.[12]
The two member constituencies were established in accordance to Article 332 of theIndian Constitution.The voting method and the plurality electoral formula were defined in The Representation of People Act, 1950.[13]Out of the total 309 constituencies in the undividedMadras State,66 were two member constituencies, 62 of which had one seat reserved forScheduled Castecandidates and 4 forScheduled Tribecandidates.[14]These constituencies were larger in size and had greater number of voters (more than 1,00,000)[15]when compared to general constituencies. Two separate list of candidates, a general list and a reserved list, contested in those constituencies. Each voter had to cast two votes – one for each list.
The two winners were chosen as follows:
- Reserved Member– Candidate with the most votes among the reserved (SC/ST) list candidates
- General Member– Candidate with the most votes among the rest of the candidates excluding the Reserved Member (including both reserved and general lists).
This system led to anomalies. In some cases like the Coimbatore – II constituency in the1957 election,both elected members belonged to the reserved list – the candidate with second highest number of votes in reserved list secured more votes than the highest vote getter in the general list. Multiple members were elected only in the 1952 and 1957 elections as double member representation was abolished in 1961 by the enactment of Two-Member Constituencies Abolition Act (1961).[16]
Political parties
[edit]The main opponents for the Congress in Madras were the CPI, Prakasam'sKisan Mazdoor Praja Party(KMPP) and theKrishikar Lok Partyled byN. G. Ranga(a breakaway group from KMPP's predecessor - the Hyderabad State Praja Party). TheDravida Munnetra Kazhagam(DMK) did not contest the 1952 election. Instead it supported the candidates of theVanniyarcaste based parties – theCommonweal Partyand theTamil Nadu Toilers Party– and five independents inChengelpet,Salem,North and SouthArcotdistricts. The candidates they backed had to sign a pledge to support DMK's agenda in the legislative assembly.[10][17]The Dravidar Kazhagam also did not participate directly in the election. However, it supported the Communists in an effort to defeat theIndian National Congresswhich it claimed was a Brahmin dominated party. It also supported a number of other parties and Independents in the election.[9][18]TheJustice party,led byP. T. Rajancontested in nine seats.
Election
[edit]Polling was held on 27 March 1952.[19]In all, 2,507 persons filed their nominations-2,472 men and 35 women. Of these, the nominations were rejected in respect of 79 candidates-78 men and one woman. Seven hundred and fifty-one candidates withdrew their nominations in time-741 men and 10 women.[12]

Government formation
[edit]Election of C. Rajagopalachari
[edit]The composite Madras State then included parts ofAndhra Pradesh,KeralaandKarnatakawith a total of 375 assembly members. TheIndian National Congresswas reduced to a minority with 152 members in an assembly of 375. It won 4 seats from the 29 inMalabar,43 of the 143 in the Andhra areas, 96 of the 190 Tamil constituencies and 9 of the 11 seats fromKannadaspeaking areas.Kumaraswami Raja,the incumbent Chief Minister lost the election along with five members of his cabinet (Bezawada Gopala Reddy,Kala Venkata Rao,K. Chandramouli,K. Madhava Menon andM. Bhaktavatsalam).[20][21]
A large number of CPI members were elected from Andhra region of Madras state which had for some years demanded a separate state for Telugu speaking areas. In February 1952, the non-congress members convened underT. Prakasam,leader of the KMPP, at Madras to form the United Democratic Front (UDF) and issued a "Common Minimum Program". They claimed to control 166 seats (CPI and CPI backed independents – 70, KMPP – 36, Tamil Nadu Toilers Party – 19, Commonweal party – 6, FBL (MG) – 3, SCF – 1, JUSP −1 and Independents – 30). Prakasam wrote to the GovernorSri Prakasastaking his claim to form the Government as the leader of the single largest formation. The Congress did not want the Communists taking power or to impose Governor's rule in the state. It brought Rajaji out of retirement to form the Government as a consensus candidate.[20][22][23][24] Kamaraj, President of the Madras Provincial Congress Committee was of the opinion that the UDF should be allowed to form the Government as he had predicted the weak coalition might eventually fall apart. However other leaders such asT. T. KrishnamachariandRamnath Goenkawanted Rajaji to be nominated to form the Government.[25]
Rajaji was invited by Sri Prakasa to form the Government on 1 April 1952 and was sworn in on 10 April 1952. He refused to run for a by-election and the Governor nominated him for the assembly's upper house (Legislative Council). It was considered to be a "constitutional impropriety" as the nomination of a member to the Council could be done only at the recommendation of the cabinet. But in this case, the Governor acted unilaterally when no cabinet had been formed yet.[2][21][26]On 6 May, the incumbentSpeaker of the assembly,J. Shivashanmugam Pillaiof the Congress was reelected as the Speaker defeating independent MLA Swayamprakasam by 206 votes to 162.[27]On 3 July, Rajaji was able to win a vote of confidence with the support of 200 members with 151 opposing (and 1 neutral).[28][29][30][31]This was the first time such a "confidence motion" was moved in any legislature in India.[32]He was able to secure the majority by engineering a series of defections from the UDF and with the help of other parties:
- The support of the 6 members ofCommonweal Party,(one of the two parties representing the cause ofVanniars) was obtained by giving a cabinet position to its leader –M. A. Manickavelu Naicker.19 members of the other Vanniyar party –Tamil Nadu Toilers Partyled byS. S. Ramasami Padayachialso supported the vote of confidence but did not join the cabinet. (They later joined the Kamaraj cabinet in 1954).[10][33][34]
- Many independents joined Congress and became Congress Legislators. The strength of the Congress Legislative Party (CLP) which was 152 on 1 April 1952, increased to 165 by 3 May and to 167 by 30 September.[35]
- Rajaji split theKrishikar Lok Partyand KLP legislators P. Thimma Reddy, Neeladri Rao Reddy and Kumisetti Venkatanarayana Dora joined the Congress.[36][37]
- The 5 members of theMadras State Muslim Leagueprovided their support to congress to prevent the communists from gaining power.[38]
Election of K. Kamaraj
[edit]Andhra State was formed from the Telugu-speaking regions of Madras State after a widespread agitation in 1953. The Madras assembly was reduced from 375 to 230, 140 members going to Andhra and 5 to Mysore with the Congress Party controlling 118 seats; an outright majority.[28]This strengthened the positions of non-Brahmin Congress forces under the leadership of K. Kamaraj. He ousted Rajaji on 31 March 1954 and was elected the leader of Congress Legislative Party. Kamaraj consolidated his position by offering ministerial position to leaders of Tamil Nadu Toilers Party and Commonweal Party. This event marked the end of Brahmin domination in Tamil Nadu Congress.[39]
Impact
[edit]Kamaraj resigned his presidency of the Provincial Congress Committee owning responsibility for the election loss and was soon replaced by P. Subbarayan.[25]Rajaji's nomination to theLegislative Councilwas challenged in theMadras High CourtbyP. Ramamurthi,the CPI MLA from Madurai North Constituency. Chief JusticeRajamannarand Justice Venkatarama Ayyar, who heard the public interest writ petition declined to intervene by opining that "the court could not decide political rights or enforce public interest or constitutional conventions".[40]This precedent set by Governor Prakasa became the first among a long list of constitutional improprieties committed by governors to help the party in power in the central government. TheSarkaria Commissionestablished in 1983 to examine the balance of power between state and central governments remarked on the precedent that the "Governor's task is to see that a government is formed and not to try to form a government which will pursue the policies he approves".[26]

Delimitation and Reorganisation
[edit]On 1 October 1953, a separateAndhra Stateconsisting of the Telugu-speaking areas of the composite Madras State was formed and the Kannada-speaking area ofBellaryDistrict was merged with the thenMysore State.This reduced the strength of the Legislative Assembly to 231.
On 1 November 1956,Madras Statewas re-organized as perStates Reorganisation Act, 1956.Malabar Districtof the State was transferred to the new State ofKerala,and a new union territory,Laccadive, Minicoy and Amindivi Islands,was carved out. The southern part (Tamil-speaking area) ofTravancore-Cochin(present dayKanyakumari district) andShenkottahtaluk were merged into the State. Later in 1968, the state was renamed asTamil Nadu.This led to re-organization of legislative assembly constituencies during 1957 assembly elections in the State.[44]
The strength of the Madras Legislative Assembly was increased to 205 in accordance with the new Delimitation of Parliamentary and Assembly Constituencies Order 1956, made by the Delimitation Commission of India under the provisions of the State Reorganisation Act, 1956.[14]The 1957 elections were conducted for these 205 seats.
