Amaravati: According to sources within the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), its President N. Chandrababu Naidu is expected to be sworn in as the new chief minister of Andhra Pradesh on June 9. As the TDP-led alliance is on track for a resounding victory, with a clear lead in 158 out of 175 Assembly constituencies, Naidu is all set to reclaim his position as the leader of the state.
At 74 years old, Naidu will be assuming the role of chief minister for the fourth time. He previously held this position from 1995 to 2004, during the tenure of united Andhra Pradesh. In 2014, he also became the first chief minister of the newly formed state of Andhra Pradesh after its division.
After a crushing defeat in the 2019 elections at the hands of the YSR Congress Party, Naidu has made a strong comeback, riding on the wave of anti-establishment sentiment. His alliance with the Jana Sena Party, led by popular actor-politician Pawan Kalyan, and the Bharatiya Janata Party, seems to have played a crucial role in securing this victory.
With a significant lead in 131 constituencies, the TDP has managed to secure a majority on its own. Naidu himself is leading in the Kuppam constituency, which he has represented since 1989. His son and TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh is also ahead in the Mangalagiri constituency, where he had previously suffered defeat.
The TDP is also ahead in 16 out of 25 Lok Sabha constituencies, with the tripartite alliance leading in 21 seats. This is a stark contrast to the 2019 elections, where the TDP could only manage to win 23 Assembly and three Lok Sabha seats.
Naidu's triumphant return to power is a testament to his strong leadership and the support of the people. As he prepares to take the oath of office once again, the people of Andhra Pradesh are filled with hope for a brighter future under his guidance.
