Andhra Pradesh Lok Sabha election results highlights: NDA alliance gives crushing defeat to ruling YSRCP

The NDA alliance of TDP, BJP and Janasena won a landslide victory in Andhra Pradesh on Tuesday, bagging 21 parliamentary and 164 assembly seats.

The TDP won 16 Lok Sabha seats, BJP three and Janasena two, decimating the YSRCP. Out of 25 Lok Sabha seats, NDA swept 21 seats away while YSRCP managed to win only four seats.

With the BJP failing to get a majority on its own in the Lok Sabha, TDP’s 16 seats will be crucial for the NDA.

The TDP bagged 135 Assembly seats out of 175, Janasena 21 and BJP eight while YSRCP was restricted to just 11 seats, according to the data disseminated by the Election Commission.

The Telugu Desam Party (TDP), the Jana Sena Party (JSP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are leading in the Andhra Pradesh Lok Sabha elections. Of the 25 Lok Sabha seats, the TDP is leading in 16 Lok Sabha seats, while the JSP and BJP are leading in two and three seats respectively. The Ruling YSRCP is leading in just four seats in the State. Among the four, one is Araku Parliament Constituency, Kadapa, Rajampet and Tirupati.

The Congress on Tuesday said it is its guarantee that it will give special category status to Andhra Pradesh, as promised by former prime minister Manmohan Singh, if it comes to power.

The reiteration of Congress’ promise made in its 2024 manifesto assumes significance amid reported efforts by the INDIA bloc to win over the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), which was leading on 16 seats in Andhra Pradesh. The TDP is currently part of the BJP-led NDA.
