Kamaraj got 93 votes and C.Subramaniam got 41 votes. Kamaraj won and became Chief Minister.

Kamaraj went to Delhi and met the high command , asked them whether he can be a party leader in assembly and appoint another one as C.M. But the high command insisted the leader of assembly to be the C.M.

After returning from Delhi he consulted his friend. They said if another election was conducted it may cause fresh problems. Hence asked Kamaraj to take charge of C.M.'s post. Then he wanted them to promise that should not insist him to appoint ministers for their choice.

Man who did wonders: -

Kamaraj reduced the ministry to 8 from 12. He included the supporters of Rajaji in his ministry. He also included C.Subramaniam who contested against him in his ministry. Bakthavathsalaam was also included one among the 8.

The 6 person who opposed Rajaji were not included in the ministry.
