Lok Sabha Elections 2024: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has lastly introduced its six candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections in Andhra Pradesh. According to the seat-sharing association with the Chandrababu Naidu-led Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and the Pawan Kalyan’s Jana Sena Party (JSP), the saffron get together is contesting Aruku or Araku, Anakapalli, Narasapuram, Rajahmundry, Tirupati and Rajampet constituencies in Andhra Pradesh. The TDP will contest 17 seats whereas the JSP will subject candidates in Machilipatnam and Kakinada. The get together has determined to present tickets to Kothapalli Geetha (Araku), CM Ramesh (Anakapalli), Srinivas Verma (Narasapuram), state BJP chief Daggubati Purandeswari (Rajahmundry), Varaprasad Rao Velagapalli (Tirupati) and former Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy (Rajampet).
All 25 Lok Sabha constituencies in Andhra Pradesh will go for a vote on May 13 within the fourth section together with the Andhra Pradesh Assembly Elections 2024. A forensic evaluation of the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections for these six seats exhibits that the BJP is prone to win the Anakapalli, Narasapuram and Rajahmundry constituencies if the TDP-JSP combo can switch their votes efficiently to BJP candidates. However, the BJP could lose Araku, Tirupati and Rajampet as these three are robust seats for the get together to crack even when there’s a 100 per cent vote switch of the TDP and the JSP. In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the Jagan Mohan Reddy-led Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) received all six seats allotted to the BJP this time. The YSRCP acquired greater than 50 per cent votes in Rajampet (57.27%), Tirupati (54.91%) and Aruku (52.14%) constituencies and even the mixed vote share of the TDP-BJP-JSP alliance could not save the saffron get together in these seats. However, the TDP-BJP-JSP vote share was greater than that of the YSRCP in Rajahmundry, Anakapalli and Narasapuram constituencies.
