NDA Alliance Wins Majority in Andhra Pradesh Urban Local Body Elections
In Andhra Pradesh's recent urban local body elections, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA)—comprising the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), Jana Sena Party (JSP), and BJP—secured a decisive victory across multiple districts, winning most municipal corporations and municipalities. The TDP notably gained control in traditional YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) strongholds like Pulivendula and Kadapa. While the YSRCP retained some seats, including Anantapur and Nandikotkur municipalities, it faced significant losses statewide. The elections saw peaceful conduct despite delays from Cyclone Murasu, with both alliances claiming mandates amid allegations of irregularities by the YSRCP.
