Issues

Naidu's arrest

TDP supremo N. Chandrababu Naidu was arrested on 9 September 2023 in an alleged multi-crore skill development scam.[9] The arrest became an election issue in Telangana, which was then soon to enter state polls, with different political parties in the state rushing to support Naidu to woo Andhra settlers.[10] Naidu's son Nara Lokesh said that Naidu's arrest was unfair and alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi did the same with firms in Gujarat while he was the state chief minister there.[11]

Incidents

Electoral malpractices

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief N. Chandrababu Naidu accused the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) of subverting electoral practices. Subsequently, on 28 August 2023, he lodged a complaint with the Election Commission of India to ensure all the eligible voters are included and fake voters are removed. He also demanded an enquiry into the transfer of the electoral data to the private agencies and prevent the appointment of grama volunteers instead of teachers for the election duty.[12][13] He also submitted a documentary evidence of the deletion of 40,000 votes in Visakhapatnam East, 23,000 votes in Vijayawada Central and also at Parchur, Tadikonda and Uravakonda constituencies.[14][15]

Campaigns

YSR Congress Party

The YSRCP launched its Why AP needs Jagan campaign on 9 November 2023. The outreach campaign would last for 40 days. Bus yatras will also taken out in all 175 assembly constituencies during the campaign. The campaign has been criticised by the opposition TDP which countered the campaign with the slogan Why AP hates Jagan. TDP national spokesperson Kommareddy Pattabhiram said that the slogan would be the TDP's official campaign slogan.[16]

Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy announced a mass contact program called Siddham (We are Ready!) for the election campaign,[17] which was countered by the slogan Samsiddham (We are Prepared!) and Memu Siddhame (We are also Ready!) from the TDP and JSP respectively.[18] The YSRCP has taken up the slogans Maa Nammakam Nuvve Jagan and Jagananne Maa Bhavishyattu to reach the public for the upcoming election.[19][20] The party has been announcing candidates in multiple lists for the upcoming general election.[21][22]

Telugu Desam Party and Jana Sena Party

After huge speculation about an alliance between the TDP and Jana Sena Party (JSP), JSP chief Pawan Kalyan officially announced the tie of both parties in the 2024 polls on 14 September 2023 amidst the arrest of N. Chandrababu Naidu to collectively fight against the incumbent YSRCP.[23][24] A joint action committee was setup, comprising representatives from both parties.

The first meeting of the committee was held in Rajahmundry on 21 October 2023, addressing public issues, the latest political developments and steps for better coordination between the two parties.[25][26] Both the TDP and JSP chiefs met on multiple occasions to discuss seat sharing, a common manifesto, and other political developments in the state.[27][28]

On 20 December 2023, to mark the completion of the Nara Lokesh Yuva Galam Padayatra, the TDP and JSP held a joint public meeting called Yuva Galam Navasakam in Polipalli, Vizianagaram district, accommodating around 6 lakh people with Pawan Kalyan attending the meeting. [29][30][31] Naidu announced that a common manifesto of TDP and JSP will be announced in public meetings at Amaravati and Tirupati.[32][33][34]

The initial joint list of the TDP-JSP alliance, comprising a total of 118 seats, was formally released by both party chiefs on 24 February 2024. Of these, 24 seats were allotted to the JSP, with 5 candidates named and 94 seats to the TDP.[35][36] On 28 February 2024, both parties held a joint public meeting called Jenda in Tadepalligudem, West Godavari district, describing it as a historic necessity to defeat the incumbent YSRCP. They emphasized the importance of saving democracy and promoting the development of Andhra Pradesh, urging party cadres to understand the ground reality.[37][38]

Telugu Desam Party

The TDP organised various public outreach programs such as Badude Badudu, Isuka Satyagraha Deekshalu and Jaiho BC[39][40] to engage with the public and campaign against the YSRCP.[41][42][43] The TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh also launched the Yuva Galam Padayatra, a walkathon to reach the public.[44]

Jana Sena Party

Earlier to the official formation of the alliance with the TDP, the JSP chief, Pawan Kalyan launched a Varahi Yatra on 14 June 2023 from Annavaram with a specially designed vehicle named as Varahi to campaign against the YSRCP.[45][46] The campaign was conducted in multiple phases to reach the public widely.[47]

Indian National Congress

The Indian National Congress (INC) launched its campaign Intinti Congress via a statewide door-to-door campaign on 20 January 2024.[48] The recent successes of the INC in the bordering states of Karnataka and Telangana have enthused the party cadre ahead of the state elections.[48][49] Chief Minister Jagan Reddy's sister Y. S. Sharmila, joined the INC on 4 January 2024 and is currently leading its campaign.[50][51]

On 22 February 2024, APCC president Y. S. Sharmila and other 40 Congress workers were temporarily detained for protesting against the DSC notification for teacher recruitment. Sharmila herself had reportedly spent the previous night in the party office to avoid house arrest.[52]

On 26 February 2024, at Anantapur, Sharmila and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge announced a guarantee of ₹5,000 per month to every poor family if the party comes to power. At the meeting, Kharge criticised prime minister Narendra Modi for not according Special Category Status (SCS) to Andhra Pradesh. He also said that the TDP, JSP and the YSRCP were all stooges of the BJP.[53] On 1 March, Congress general secretary Sachin Pilot said said at a public meeting in Tirupati that the Congress would accord 10-year SCS to Andhra Pradesh immediately if it came to power at the centre.[54]

Bharatiya Janata Party

On 9 March 2024, the president of the Bharatiya Janata Party, J. P. Nadda issued a joint official statement on behalf of the BJP, TDP and JSP. The statement announced the admission of the TDP to the NDA and finalised the alliance of the BJP, TDP and JSP for the upcoming legislative assembly and Lok Sabha polls in Andhra Pradesh.[55][56]
