Summary
To take on the ruling YS Jagan Mohan Reddy-led YSRCP in Andhra Pradesh, the BJP has forged an alliance with TDP, led by former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan’s JSP.
Andhra Pradesh is all set to vote for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and the Assembly polls simultaneously in a single phase on May 13.
As many as 454 candidates are in the fray from 25 parliamentary constituencies, while 2,387 are fighting for 175 seats in the state Assembly. Voting in the state will be held in the fourth phase of the 2024 elections schedule.
During the 2019 Assembly polls, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy-led YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) registered a resounding victory and bagged 151 out of 175 seats in Andhra Pradesh, dethroning the N Chandrababu Naidu-led government. The YSRCP managed a 49.95% vote share, while Naidu’s Telugu Desam Party (TDP) was restricted to 23 seats and could only manage 39.17% votes.
The remaining seat went to Pawan Kalyan-led Jana Sena Party (JSP), while national parties like the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress failed to open their accounts in the state.
In the 2024 elections, the TDP is contesting as part of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which also includes the JSP. Besides the NDA, the other two parties in the triangular contest this time are the ruling YSRCP as well as the Congress-led INDIA bloc, including the Left Front.
As part of the seat-sharing agreement between the NDA allies, the BJP is contesting on six Lok Sabha and 10 Assembly constituencies, while JSP has two parliamentary constituencies and 21 Assembly seats. The TDP, meanwhile, has fielded its candidates in the remaining 17 Lok Sabha and 144 Assembly constituencies.
