For the left, it was a near-total wipe-out, though the CPI and the CPIM are leading in two each constituencies in Tamil Nadu, where it as also the Congress allied with the DMK. It was disaster for the AIADMK.
In effect, PM Modi has managed to vanquish all of his main detractors in this round of Lok Sabha polls, and emerged stronger than ever.
