The general elections were held in 1962 for 206 constituencies. In the election, Congress under the leadership of Kamaraj won with a majority, and subsequently formed the government. Kamaraj proposed the Kamaraj Plan and on 2 October 1963 he resigned from the Chief Minister post. After the resignation, M. Bakthavatsalam became the chief minister of Tamil Nadu.
