As Andhra Pradesh concluded its Lok Sabha and State Assembly elections on May 13, prominent candidates from major parties emerged. YSRCP's YS Jagan, TDP's N Chandrababu Naidu, and Jana Sena Party's Pawan Kalyan are among the key contenders.
Andhra Pradesh has been a challenging terrain for national parties due to strong regional sentiments favoring local parties. In 2019, the YSR Congress Party dominated, winning 22 out of 25 seats, while the BJP and INC failed to secure any seats.
The Bharatiya Janata Party is confident of winning the Rajahmundry and Anakapalli Lok Sabha constituencies banking on alliance with TDP and JSP and PM Modi's rising popularity in Andhra Pradesh. Jagan Mohan Reddy's YSRCP held both seats.
Congress released lists of Lok Sabha candidates for Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. The grand old party pitted Velichala Rajender Rao against BJP's Sanjay Bandi and Mohd Sameer Waliullah against AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi.
Actor-turned-politician Pawan Kalyan's Janasena recently joined the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) along with Chandra Babu Naidu's TDP in Andhra Pradesh to fight Jagan Mohan Reddy's YSRCP.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) formed an alliance with Chandrababu Naidu-led Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and the actor-turned-politician Pawan Kalyan's Jana Sena Party (JSP) for the upcoming elections.
Pawan Kalyan is still with the Bharatiya Janata Party-led (BJP) National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Andhra Pradesh will see simultaneous Assembly and Lok Sabha elections in 2024.
Andhra Pradesh State Election Commissioner Nimmagadda Ramesh Kumar on Saturday issued the notification for the first phase of panchayat elections.
YSRCP will face the ruling Telugu Desam Party in a do or die battle over 175 assembly seats in the state. The Andhra Pradesh assembly elections will be held simultaneously with Lok Sabha elections this year.
