The eighth legislative assembly election for Tamil Nadu was held on December 24 1984. Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (ADMK) won the election and its leader incumbent M. G. Ramachandran (MGR) was sworn in as Chief Minister for the third time. This was the last time where a Chief Minister in Tamil Nadu has won his re-election. The election victory was mainly attributed to the sympathy wave created by Indira Gandhi’s assassination and MGR’s illness coupled with Rajiv Gandhi’s popularity.
