Battle for Andhra Pradesh | Infographics

Andhra Pradesh gears up for 'mother of all elections' with YSRCP vs TDP-BJP-JSP alliance showdown. 4.09 crore voters eligible.

With the Election Commission of India declaring May 13 as the polling day for the Lok Sabha elections in Andhra Pradesh, the State is all set to witness what is being referred to as the ‘mother of all elections’. A total of 4.09 crore voters are eligible to exercise their franchise to vote.

These elections will witness a direct fight between the ruling YSR Congress Party led by incumbent Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and the TDP-BJP-JSP alliance led by veteran TDP leader and three-time Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu. Congress is also in the fray hoping to regain its glory in the residuary State post bifurcation.

The YSRCP will be aiming to repeat their 2019 victory where they won 22 out of the 25 Lok Sabha seats and secured nearly half the votes polled, as Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy is riding high on his welfare schemes.

For Mr. Naidu and JSP chief Pawan Kalyan, it is a do-or-die battle. The election results will decide the very existence of the parties in the political arena. For the BJP, it is a matter of prestige, as it is a part of the alliance.

In the 2019 elections, constituencies concentrated around central Andhra Pradesh had trends of high polling percentages with Narasaraopet being the highest at 85.53%.

Constituencies concentrated around northern Andhra Pradesh witnessed considerably low polling percentages with Visakhapatnam being the lowest at 67.26%

In terms of the absolute numbers of voters, Narasaraopet had the highest turnout with 14,40,732 voters and Araku had the lowest turnout with 10,78,235 voters.
