New Delhi: Andhra Pradesh is one of the prime focuses of the BJP which can become the gateway for the BJP into the South. Last time the Bharatiya Janta Party was not able to find a sound footing in the state. But with the resounding popularity of the Pawan Kalyan factor and the alliance with the TDP things can become interesting.
Andhra Pradesh Exit Polls Results 2024
According to organisations like Chanakya and CVoters, the exit poll swings heavily in favour of BJP, TDP and BJD alliance which can secure a maximum of 21-25 seats. Naturally, it means that YSRCP might or might not even open their account. It is anticipated that YSRCP will stay between 1 and 3 seats. While the INDIA bloc might not be able to open their account in Andhra.

Key battles to watch out
Andhra Pradesh has traditionally been a swing state where YSRCP and TDP battle it out amongst themselves. While the 2014 Lok Sabha went in favour of TDP, YSRCP managed to rout out the opposition in 2019. Naturally, some degree of unpredictability comes with this year’s election. Additionally, with the strong face of Pawan Kalyan’s Jana Sena Party things can turn interesting in the coastal state.
However, some key states like Kadapa, Vijaywada, Vizianagram, Guntur and Nellore can turn out to be an electoral delicacy for the people. In Kadapa, the battle is between TDP’s Chidipiralla Bhupesh Reddy vs YSRCP’s Smt. YS Sharmila Reddy vs INC’s YS Avinash Reddy.
While shifting to Vijayawada, the battle is between TDP’s Kesineni Shivanath, INC’s Valluru Bhargav, and YSRCP’s Kesineni Srinivas. Similarly, Vizianagram and Guntur have also emerged as important seats for both the ruling and the incumbent parties. Guntur especially being one of the communist stronghold areas also can have a competition from the CPI party.
