After seven decades, NDA flips Rayalaseema’s long-standing political dynamics

The Hindu  

The Telugu Desam Party, in alliance with its NDA partners, Bharatiya Janata Party and the Jana Sena Party, achieved a remarkable feat by securing the highest number of Assembly seats in the Rayalaseema region — comprising the undivided districts of Chittoor, Kadapa, Kurnool, and Anantapur, plus three Assembly constituencies of Venkatagiri, Sullurupeta, and Gudur, which joined the region from the Nellore district. The electoral landscape in Rayalaseema flipped as the NDA dominated the Assembly and Lok Sabha seats, supplanting the lone rival YSR Congress Party and the yesteryear political giant Congress. Political history Reflecting on the electoral history in Rayalaseema, the 1983 elections were pivotal as TDP secured 41 out of 52 Assembly seats across the four districts, while the then-ruling Congress managed only 8 seats. Meanwhile, the Rayalaseema region also became a testing ground for the electoral fortunes of various regional parties, such as the Praja Rajyam Party and the Samaikyandhra Party, which had no luck in the previous elections.
