The Lok Sabha elections in Andhra Pradesh have culminated today, and the highly anticipated results are set to be declared on June 4, 2024. The state has witnessed a three-way race, with the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRC) led by Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, the Congress-led INDIA coalition, and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) alliance competing for the people's mandate. Notably, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a key player in the NDA, has formed a strategic alliance with Chandrababu Naidu's Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and the Jana Sena Party (JSP) led by Pawan Kalyan.
The exit polls, which provide an early indication of the election results based on voter surveys conducted at the end of the voting process, will be released by various pollsters, including India Today-Axis My India, Chanakya, Times Now-ETG, C-Voter, and CSDS-Lokniti. These exit polls are eagerly awaited by political pundits and analysts, as well as the general public, to gain insights into the potential outcome of the elections.
The results of the Andhra Pradesh Lok Sabha elections will have significant implications for the political landscape of the state and the country as a whole. The YSRC, under the leadership of Jagan Mohan Reddy, has been in power since 2019 and is seeking a second term. The INDIA coalition, led by the Congress party, is aiming to make a comeback in the state, while the NDA alliance is hoping to gain a foothold in Andhra Pradesh.
The BJP, with its alliance partners TDP and JSP, is looking to expand its presence in the southern states, where it has traditionally had a weaker presence. The outcome of the elections will also be closely watched in the context of the upcoming 2024 general elections, as Andhra Pradesh is one of the key states in the country.
