Visakhapatnam (<keyword id="37102" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="andhra-pradesh" source="Orion">Andhra Pradesh</keyword>) [India], August 16 (ANI): As there is a buzz about Telugu Desam Party (<keyword id="42372" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="tdp" source="Orion">TDP</keyword>) joining the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) once again, Former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and the party President <keyword id="6354350" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Chandrababu-Naidu" source="Orion">Chandrababu Naidu</keyword> on Tuesday said that he will talk about it at the 'right time'. On being asked about his plan to join the NDA, Naidu said 'it is not the right time'. "It's not the time to talk about joining the NDA government. I will talk about this at the right time," he said while talking to ANI. Naidu was speaking to ANI, after releasing the Vision-2047 document at a programme organised in this Port City on Tuesday evening. One of the founders of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) - the <keyword id="79886" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="chandrababu" source="Orion">Chandrababu</keyword> Naidu-led Telugu Desam Party (TDP) had left in protest against the Centre's refusal to give special status to Andhra Pradesh. Naidu further said that his role is very clear for national politics in 2024. "My priority is Andhra Pradesh. It's my big agenda. I will prepare for the rebuilding and reconstruction of the state," the TDP chief said. Responding to the Amaravati capital issue, Naidu said, "You (CM Jagan <keyword id="85706" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="mohan-reddy" source="Orion">Mohan Reddy</keyword>) are sitting in assembly. You are sitting in the secretariat. Where are you conducting the cabinet meeting? Is it temporary? What <keyword id="178627" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="jagan-mohan" source="Orion">Jagan Mohan</keyword> Reddy is talking rubbish. For the last ten years, they have been functioning. Everything got ready. We planned the world-class capital for Andhra Pradesh. I planned systematically one of the best ecosystems for Hyderabad for nine years." Notably, the unified state of Andhra Pradesh was bifurcated into Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in June 2014. As per the AP Reorganisation Act, Hyderabad became the capital of Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh had to find itself a new capital within ten years; until then, Hyderabad would serve as the capital for both states. In January this year, Jagan Mohan had announced that Visakhapatnam is going to be the capital with no mention of it in any state assembly discussion or on any official documents. Later, the YS Jagan Mohan Reddy-led government had decided to make three capitals in different cities of the State in order to ensure development in all parts of the state. Earlier on Tuesday evening, Chandrababu paid tribute to the statue of the former chief minister, the late NT Rama Rao, on Beach Road. (ANI)

Not the time to talk about it: TDP chief Chandrababu on joining NDA

There is jubilance at the party headquarters of YSR Congress Party as it has routed the ruling party Telugu Desam Party (TDP), in the state assembly elections. The party has 150 seats and leading in one more. TDP has won 21 seats and leading in two more assembly constituencies. <table style="width:0in;border-collapse:collapse;mso-yfti-tbllook:1184;mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 0in 0in"> <tbody><tr> <td style="border:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt; padding:1.0pt 1.5pt 1.0pt 1.5pt;height:10.65pt"></td> <td style="border:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;border-left:none; mso-border-left-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt;mso-border-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt; padding:1.0pt 1.5pt 1.0pt 1.5pt;height:10.65pt"> Won/175 </td> <td style="border:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;border-left:none; mso-border-left-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt;mso-border-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt; padding:1.0pt 1.5pt 1.0pt 1.5pt;height:10.65pt"> Leading </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;border-top:none; mso-border-top-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt;mso-border-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt; padding:1.0pt 1.5pt 1.0pt 1.5pt;height:10.65pt"> YSR Congress </td> <td style="border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt; border-right:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;mso-border-top-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt; mso-border-left-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt;mso-border-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt; padding:1.0pt 1.5pt 1.0pt 1.5pt;height:10.65pt"> 150 </td> <td style="border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt; border-right:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;mso-border-top-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt; mso-border-left-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt;mso-border-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt; padding:1.0pt 1.5pt 1.0pt 1.5pt;height:10.65pt"> 1 </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;border-top:none; mso-border-top-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt;mso-border-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt; padding:1.0pt 1.5pt 1.0pt 1.5pt;height:10.65pt"> TDP </td> <td style="border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt; border-right:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;mso-border-top-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt; mso-border-left-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt;mso-border-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt; padding:1.0pt 1.5pt 1.0pt 1.5pt;height:10.65pt"> 21 </td> <td style="border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt; border-right:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;mso-border-top-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt; mso-border-left-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt;mso-border-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt; padding:1.0pt 1.5pt 1.0pt 1.5pt;height:10.65pt"> 2 </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;border-top:none; mso-border-top-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt;mso-border-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt; padding:1.0pt 1.5pt 1.0pt 1.5pt;height:10.65pt"> Jana Sena </td> <td style="border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt; border-right:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;mso-border-top-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt; mso-border-left-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt;mso-border-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt; padding:1.0pt 1.5pt 1.0pt 1.5pt;height:10.65pt"> 1 </td> <td style="border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt; border-right:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;mso-border-top-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt; mso-border-left-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt;mso-border-alt:solid #CCCCCC .5pt; padding:1.0pt 1.5pt 1.0pt 1.5pt;height:10.65pt"> 0 </td> </tr> </tbody></table> By afternoon yesterday Jagan Reddy camp already sett the stage for his swearing-in ceremony. TDP head Chandrababu Naidu submitted his resignation to the governor. However, it is also to be noted that TDP has a 39% vote share while YSRC has 50% share of the state’s votes. Reddy’s legwork Jagan Reddy has walked in late father Y S Rajasekhara Reddy’s foothpath, literally. The senior Reddy of Congress party ended nine years of Naidu rule and extensive popularity in 2004, with a padyatra or a walking tour where he walked across every second village in the state. Jagan too had followed up with his father’s winning plan, with a <a href="https://www.ndtv.com/andhra-pradesh-news/jaganmohan-reddy-to-conclude-429-day-padyatra-in-andhra-pradesh-today-1974775" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">429-day padyatra</a> or a match-on-foot and has reportedly met 20 million of his voters along the way—something which helped him win the mandate with a thumping majority. The issues he took up with them were also high on voters’ minds. One question that Reddy repeatedly reiterated as to why Chandrababu Naidu the head of TDP was unable to get the state a special status in spite of his ‘closeness’ to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The state of Andhra Pradesh which lost its crown jewel Hyderabad, is on a rebuild mode after its division in 2014. In fact, Naidu broke away from National Democratic Alliance (NDA) over the issue, but that doesn’t seem to have placated the public. From Jail to CM’s post Not too long back, a few years soon after his father’s death in 2009, Jagan Reddy was embroiled in a CBI case which also involved his late father. The duo was accused of colluding and giving away licences and other mining rights to companies and accepting bribes in a disproportionate assets case. According to a CBI investigation, as much as <a href="https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/rs-43000-cr-got-diverted-to-jagans-firms-cbi/article20458579.ece">Rs 43,000 crores were</a> diverted illegally into various businesses owned by him. The Reddy family have varied business interests across sectors like mining, cement, power along with investments in media companies. As a result of the intense crackdown on black money, Reddy was arrested in 2012 and spent around 16 months in jail. He was released on bail, and the case is still ongoing. A new party Last elections in 2014, YSR Congress was routed by the TDP-BJP combine. However, very few political pundits wrote off Jagan, especially after his thumping win at Kadapa by-elections in 2011 which shows that he had popular support. He had then won by a margin of five-and-a-half votes over his nearest Congress rival. Cracks between Rajesekhar Reddy’s heir apparent Jagan and party leader Sonia Gandhi emerged after she asked him to call off a ‘condolence tour’ that he went on, after his father’s death. The tour came at a time when tensions were ride on the Telangana state division issue. However, Jagan went ahead while defying the new Congress chief minister in power K Rosaiah, and resigned as the party MP in 2010. Soon after, Jagan took over the reins of the YSR Congress party formed by a fan of his father, and finally led it to its success. One of Y S R Reddy’s poll promises were free electricity and a health insurance programme and reinvigorated a provide rice for Rs 2 per kilo. While his predecessor Naidu concentrated on development, Reddy had successfully countered it with social welfare schemes, winning him two mandates in 2004 and 2009. With populist schemes, YSR soon turned a regional strongman with his stature elevated to that of a messiah --- which only swelled after his accidental death in 2009.

Jagan Reddy’s win marks the rise of the prodigal son

If a man is judged by how he treats his enemies, then Andhra Chief Minister Jagan Reddy has a lot to answer for. His opposition leader <keyword id="6354350" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Chandrababu-Naidu">Chandrababu Naidu</keyword> and his son are among many leaders of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) placed under house arrest by his government. The current detention aims to prevent a protest rally. But it seems more like the latest crescendo in a political rivalry that spans at least two generations. Naidu alleges that eight of his party members were killed, and many more have been assaulted by the ruling YSR Congress party, led by debutante chief minister Jagan Reddy. “We, as a state, are at the worst possible phase in terms of safety for people. Is there a mechanism to protect people in Andhra? Even as YSRCP kickstarted a welfare center for government employees, another attack took place on our party members in Anantapuram,” Naidu said in a tweet in Telugu on September 6. Reddy dethrones Naidu from his lair In the 100 days that Reddy has ruled the state, a myriad of changes have come in. Jagan cited environmental laws to raze a conference hall in the state capital Amaravati, called Praja Vedika. Though it’s a government property, it was built and extensively used by Naidu and could be termed as his ‘lair’. Reddy found another building which was 'too close to the banks of Krishna river’. This happens to be a palatial home rented by Naidu. His security detail was also rolled back by the state government. Stripped off his power and pride, Naidu decided it was time to go back to the grassroots and accumulate some popular support via a protest march on foot, padyatra. But Reddy wouldn't have any of it. The current chief minister knows that padayatras built glorious political careers--starting from former CM and founder of TDP, N T Rama Rao, and Reddy’s own father Y S Rajasekhara Reddy who was also a former CM, and Jagan himself. Painting his state in his colours Jagan Reddy has been a mystery to many people who know him, and do not. The five feet five inches tall 46-year-old appears to be soft spoken. Yet, he launched a phased and vicious attack on his bête noire, Naidu, without dreading public opinion. Some political pundits even say that Reddy wants to<a href="https://www.firstpost.com/india/arbitrary-decisions-by-ys-jagan-mohan-reddy-in-zeal-to-wipe-out-chandrababu-naidus-legacy-alarm-domestic-foreign-investors-in-andhra-pradesh-7172001.html"> wipe the state</a> clean of Naidu and his party. At the same time, he is literally painting the state in his colours. He has painted the state’s gram panchayats in the white, blue and green colours of his party flag. His deceased father’s photo are displayed prominently. Not all changes heralded by Reddy are cosmetic. He also cancelled the tender for Naidu’s pet project ₹3,200 crore Polavaram hydel power project. But he is keeping poll promises by taking over private liquor business, which is the first step to implement prohibition in the state. Reddy learns from Modi, but can they be friends? Reddy seems too have taken a leaf out of the same book as the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. When Modi stormed to power in New Delhi, he used the momentum to take the <a href="https://caravanmagazine.in/politics/how-amit-shah-helped-modi-sideline-his-political-rivals-in-gujarat">floor from the opposition Congress </a>party, which was at the time, led by political elites well entrenched in the system. Yet, Modi and Reddy are not natural allies. Unlike Modi-led BJP which thrives on Hindu pride Reddy has been a Christian for three generations. Unsurprisingly, Reddy's move to give ₹5,000 per month honorarium to pastors in his state was against BJP's core philosophy and caused disagreement. The state’s BJP machinery has been attacking Reddy on minor matters of faith. Yet, Reddy is playing it safe with the party which is in power at the center. Maybe he does not want to make another bitter enemy of a party ruling at the center. Enemy’s enemy is not yet a friend The Congress party which was ruling in 2013 had cornered Reddy just the way he is targeting Naidu. And, with worse consequences. After his father’s mysterious death caused by a helicopter crash, the Reddy family clashed with the Gandhis of Congress party. Not only did that ensure that he did not get a place in the Congress party where his father belonged, it got him into more trouble. He had later blamed the Gandhis for instigating CBI raids at his home and offices. This culminated in a disproportionate assets case against him which is still in litigation. In fact, he also spent a few months at Chanchalguda jail. In that sense, BJP and YSRCP have a common enemy--the Congress Party. But, Reddy has not shown any inclination to make friends with the BJP. But if he manages to wipe out TDP from the state, then he could ensure that BJP will not dial its former partner Naidu once again. It will ensure that he can enjoy unabated power, which is what people in power always seem to crave for.

Years of bad blood between Jagan Reddy and Chandrababu Naidu is spilling out

Kadapa (Andhra Pradesh) [India], March 27 (ANI): Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan <keyword id="20132488" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mohan-reddy" source="keywords">Mohan Reddy</keyword> launched the '<keyword id="21104922" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="memantha-siddham" source="keywords">Memantha Siddham</keyword>' (We are all ready) campaign in Kadapa district on Wednesday ahead of the Lok Sabha polls in the state. Following a heartfelt tribute to his father and former CM YS Rajasekhar at Idupulapaya, <keyword id="20321726" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cm-jagan" source="keywords">CM Jagan</keyword> commenced his 'Memantha Siddham' yatra through the lively streets of Vempalli in Kadapa district. A sea of people, young and old, lined up to welcome CM Jagan. CM <keyword id="21108159" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="jagan-reddy" source="keywords">Jagan Reddy</keyword> alleged TDP Chief and former CM Chandrababu Naidu and Andhra Pradesh BJP Chief Purandeshwari were involved in the recent mega drug haul at Vizag port. "Recently, the CBI caught a drug container in Visakhapatnam, that arrived from Brazil. All opposition parties are falsely accusing the YSRCP. However, the company belongs to the father-in-law of the state BJP President, Purandeshwari's sons. They were previously associated with the company. If any crime occurs, they falsely accuse the YSRCP. Even NTR was betrayed," said CM <keyword id="20041086" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="jagan-mohan" source="keywords">Jagan Mohan</keyword> Reddy. He alleged that Chandrababu and his associates have received direct support from one national party and indirect support from another. "They have even managed to gain support from my sister. I am alone. All these parties have allied to fight against me. I only have the support of the public and God," he said. He said that the YSRCP government has strived for good governance for the last fifty-eight months. Grama Sachivalayam and <keyword id="21108158" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ward-sachivalayam" source="keywords">Ward Sachivalayam</keyword> have been established across the state. "On the first of every month, beneficiaries receive pensions even if it is a holiday. Our volunteers distribute pensions to 66 lakh beneficiaries, which reflects YSRCP's commitment. We provide a pension of three thousand rupees, unmatched by any other state. It costs 24 thousand crores annually on pensions. Without corruption, beneficiaries directly receive pensions through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT)," said CM Jagan. He said that the English-medium language was implemented in government schools and starting with CBSE, the transformation was moved up to the International Baccalaureate (IB) syllabus. Tabs were distributed to the schoolchildren in every government school. He further said, "The Disha app is assisting women across the state. Village clinics have been established, and family doctors are working for the welfare of the people. This is all possible due to the efforts of the YSRCP government. Arogya Suraksha is visible in every village. New ambulances are serving the needy. Arogya Sri has been extended to provide treatment up to 25 lakhs for the weaker sections. Farmers are receiving free power and fee reimbursements for students." He further said that a lot of progress has been made in the span of 58 months by the YSRCP government. "Fifteen medical colleges are under construction, along with four seaports and ten fishing harbours. We have also improved airports and services. The foundation stone was laid for the Century Plywood industry in Badvel. All this progress has been made in the span of 58 months. I have pressed the button 130 times and disbursed 2 lakhs, 70 thousand crores of rupees to the beneficiaries under welfare schemes," he further said. He further appealed to the party workers that schemes should be explained door-to-door ahead of the Lok Sabha polls. "Every beneficiary woman speaks about the pension in both Chandra Babu Naidu's regime and our regime. If this level of service and welfare is to continue, Jagan must come into power. Not only pension but also if the welfare schemes should continue in the state, Jagan is the only person who can do it. I appeal to all of you to explain schemes to the public door to door," the chief minister said. CM Jagan made sensational comments on Viveka's murder. He said that everyone knew who killed YS <keyword id="20336212" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="vivekananda-reddy" source="keywords">Vivekananda Reddy</keyword>. A month before the last general elections, Vivekananda Reddy, a former MP, was found dead at his residence in Pulivendula on March 15, 2019. Suneetha Narreddy, daughter of former MP YS Vivekananda Reddy has accused her cousin and Chief Minister Jagan Reddy of obstructing a CBI inquiry into the investigation case into her father's murder. "Casting your vote for Chandra Babu signifies the banning of welfare schemes. He is not trustworthy. The TDP's manifesto will not be visible in the public domain after the elections. Not a single promise made by any of them has been fulfilled. The state hasn't been granted special status. Once again, the same three parties are in an alliance to deceive the public. Encourage everyone to keep the cycle out of the home, the glass in the sink, and the fan in the house. This is not just an election for electing MLAs and MPs, it's an election that changes the empowerment of weaker sections," CM Jagan added. (ANI)

"In our government, there will be no games under the guise of three capitals. Our capital is Amaravati. Amaravati is the capital," asserted Naidu. As the first chief minister of bifurcated Andhra Pradesh between 2014 and 2019, he had floated the idea of Amaravati as the capital city. However, this brainchild of Naidu suffered a setback in 2019 when the TDP lost power and Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy-led YSRCP won a landslide victory. Reddy poured cold water on the <keyword id="3924608" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amaravati-capital" source="Orion">Amaravati capital</keyword> city plans and propounded a new theory of three capitals, which Naidu has now replaced with the decision to have a single capital. The NDA alliance of TDP, BJP and Janasena won a landslide victory in the recently concluded simultaneous Lok Sabha and assembly elections in the state with a brute majority of 164 assembly and 21 Lok Sabha seats. The triumph has breathed new life into the Amaravati capital city project.

The 25 seats actually make it the third-largest single party in the Lok Sabha after the BJP and Congress. For the last two years, Jagan Mohan Reddy’s party has been working with the Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC), the organisation founded by Kishor. I-PAC had a coordinator in every constituency in Andhra Pradesh, providing feedback to the organisation’s leaders on a regular basis. As a result of Kishor’s efforts, YSR Congress will form the government in Andhra Pradesh for the first time, displacing the incumbent chief minister Chandrababu Naidu and his TDP (Telugu Desam Party).

Hyderabad bid adieu to its role as the administrative nucleus of Andhra as a tangible consequence of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act of 2014.

And TDP leader <keyword id="20138505" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="N-Chandrababu-Naidu" source="keywords">N Chandrababu Naidu</keyword> is all set to take oath in Amaravathi as the Chief Minister on June 9. Similarly, in the Lok Sabha election, the NDA triparty alliance has won (or leads) in 21 out of 25 seats. Compared to their impressive vote share of nearly 50% in the 2019 assembly elections, YSRCP is facing a substantial setback, largely attributed to the compelling appeal of the alliance's promise of effective and progressive governance. In 2013, as a product of decades of political fervour and regional aspirations, <keyword id="19909031" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Telangana" source="keywords">Telangana</keyword> became India's newest state. It necessitated the redefinition of Andhra Pradesh's administrative centre. And former Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu had set his sights on <keyword id="19926152" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amaravati" source="keywords">Amaravati</keyword> as the new capital, envisioning a modern hub of governance. Amaravati, with its promise of modernity and progress, symbolised Naidu's vision for a dynamic Andhra Pradesh. Yet, with the changing of the political guard came a divergence in vision. The unexpected rise of <keyword id="19936253" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jagan-Mohan-Reddy" source="keywords">Jagan Mohan Reddy</keyword> in 2019 ushered in a completely new and audacious vision of <keyword id="21938308" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="three-capitals" source="keywords">three capitals</keyword>! The current CM of Andhra affiliated with the YSR Congress Party revealed his vision of establishing a three-city plan with Visakhapatnam, Amaravati, and Kurnool sharing governance roles. With Visakhapatnam for executive functions, Amaravati for legislative affairs, and Kurnool for judicial matters, this plan reflected a departure from the conventional wisdom of centralised governance. Reddy's vision, born from a desire to uplift all corners of the state, challenged the conventional wisdom that a single capital must bear the burden of governance. It was a bold experiment — one that seeked to rewrite the script of regional development. Yet, amidst the cacophony of political rhetoric and legal battles, the fate of Andhra Pradesh's administrative apparatus hung in a limbo. The High Court's intervention, compelling the state to honour the commitments made by its predecessor, added another layer of complexity to an already convoluted saga. In April 2024, Naidu asserted that should he come to power in Andhra, Amaravati would remain the enduring capital of the state, adding that the city embodied the pride of Telugu people. Speaking at a gathering in Tadikonda, Guntur district, during his Praja Galam public meetings, Naidu stated firmly, "This isn't just Tadikonda; this is Amaravati. I assure you all from this platform that no force can disrupt Amaravati's future. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, JSP president Pawan Kalyan, and I are committed to its development." Naidu also accused YSRC president and Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy of commencing his tenure by demolishing the 'Praja Vedika' (Grievance Hall). The 74-year-old legislator pledged to rebuild the Praja Vedika promptly upon regaining power. Meanwhile, the new CM of Andhra already has his work cut out for him. With Hyderabad's departure, a logistical domino effect has ensued — offices, assets, and infrastructure must find new homes. The bureaucratic machinery, once anchored in Hyderabad, now faces the challenge of redefining its locus. The fate of over 55 buildings, prime symbols of administrative authority, lies in the hands of policymakers. The intricate process of bifurcating government corporations, training institutions, and assets demands meticulous planning and foresight. The transition from Hyderabad to a new capital is not just about changing addresses; it's about reimagining governance itself. In the corridors of power, negotiations simmer as Andhra Pradesh and Telangana navigate the delicate dance of asset allocation. The fate of institutions like the Film Development Corporation and the Women's Finance Corporation hangs in the balance, awaiting resolution in the crucible of political negotiation.

Andhra Assembly Election Results 2024: As TDP sweeps AP, dream of Amaravati as the ideal capital gains momentum

BJP, fielded its own candidates this time, with no partner; was expected to get only one or two seats in this state. Andhra Pradesh went for polling for all its 25 Lok Sabha seats during 2019 general elections and the results are hotly pursued now. The major contenders in the state are the four parties including TDP, YSR Congress, INC and BJP. All these four major political players in the state have adopted their best winning strategies to bag as many seats as possible to send maximum number of representatives to the Lok Sabha. Who the 2019 election results will favor is a question triggering curiosities all over. Kambhampati Hari Babu of Bharatiya Janata Party won from the Visakhapatnam constituency during 2014 general elections. In this constituency, the BJP has now fielded D Purandeshwari. She has waged a tough war with the candidates of other major parties including Ramana Kumari Pedada of Congress, MVV Satyanarayana of YSR Congress and MV Sribharat of the TDP. Again a tough game is seen in the Vijayawada constituency where the BJP has fielded Dilip Kumar Kilaru, Congress has nominated Naraharasetti Narsimha Rao, TDP has nominated Kesineni Srinivas alias Nani and the YSR Congress had sent Potluri Vara Prasad to fight with them. All over the state, the results could bring surprising turns and twists.

The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Tuesday directed the state government to immediately remove the ruling <keyword id="302547" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="YSR-Congress-Party">YSR Congress Party</keyword> flag colours from all government buildings. The court directed the Chief Secretary to ensure that panchayat bhavans and other government buildings are painted in some other colour within 10 days. The Chief Secretary was directed to submit a report on the implementation of its direction supported by evidence. The court passed the orders on a petition filed by one M. Venkateshwara Rao of Guntur district. The high court set aside an order of Panchayat Raj Commissioner for painting Panchayat Raj buildings in blue, white and green, which are the colours on the YSRCP flag. After YSRCP came to power, several government offices, panchayat offices, anganwadis, school buildings, water tanks and other public buildings were painted with the ruling party's flag colours. The officials were also issued orders with regard to the colours and specifications and size of the photo of Chief Minister Y.S. <keyword id="64899" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jagan-Mohan-Reddy">Jagan Mohan Reddy</keyword> on the top of every building.

Jagan Reddy, the head of YSR Congress, has a reason to smile today as at least three exit polls predict that he will overtake the Telugu Desam Party (TDP).

Some even foretell a fractured verdict in the state, as Reddy banks on his late father Y S Rajasekhar Reddy’s legacy to win votes this election.

BJP’s partner limps in Tamil Nadu As per exit polls, in Tamil Nadu, BJP bet on the wrong horse. Their coalition partner, AIADMK (All India <keyword id="294965" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dravida-Munnetra-Kazhagam">Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam</keyword>) is expected to win fewer than 10 seats. Only News 18-IPSOS poll believes they will win 14 seats, while India Today-Axis poll believes they will win anywhere between zero to four! Congress’ partner DMK (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) on the other hand, has been a clear favourite. Four out of five polls say that they will win more than 25 seats, while two of them will say that they will win more than 30 seats. Naidu’s fury Both Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and BJP could have gained from an alliance, a second time around. But that was not to be. TDP head Chandrababu Naidu broke away from National Democratic Alliance (NDA) as his state was not given special status. BJP also failed to forge another alliance in the state. Most polls believe that YSR Congress (YSR-C), headed by Jagan Reddy could be a net gainer as electorate is exasperated with BJP and TDP alike. Four exit polls predict that YSR-C will win over 15 seats, whereas TDP will be lucky to get 10. Only Today’s Chanakya believes that TDP will get 17 seats. Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), which is headed by K Chandrasekhara Rao, known as KCR, is expected to come back with a thumping majority. Rao will hold most seats in hand and will be more valuable for the formation of a federal front, rather than <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/elections/lok-sabha/india/chandrababu-naidu-meets-rahul-gandhi-to-meet-mayawati-akhilesh-in-up/articleshow/69384210.cms">Naidu who has been meeting</a> every non-BJP leader in New Delhi. Kerala’s Temple Run-ins In Kerala too, BJP which had no allies in place, is expected to report a dismal performance, and would be lucky to retain the single seat they won last year.

Almost all the exit polls suggest that BJP will over 20 seats in the current elections, leaving the Congress and Janata Dal-Secular combine with less than half of it.
