Polling has started in Andhra Pradesh for the Lok Sabha elections and Legislative Assembly elections for the single phase.
YSR Congress Party chief Jaganmohan Reddy and Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu cast their votes in the respective constituencies.
All eyes will be on N Chandrababu Naidu’s Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and YS Jaganmohan Reddy’s YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) while actor-turned-politician Pawan Kalyan’s Jana Sena Party can play the role of a kingmaker if both the TDP as well as YSRCP fail to gain a majority.
YSR Congress chief Jagan Mohan Reddy on Thursday sounded confident that his party will come to power in Andhra Pradesh as he turned up early at a polling booth in Pulivendula, his assembly constituency.
“I’m very confident, people are looking for a change, vote without fear,” said Jagan Mohan after casting his vote in Pulivendula assembly constituency, a YSR Congress’s pocket borough, in Kadapa district of the state.
YSR Congress chief said he is confident that his party will secure “majority on its own” in the Andhra Pradesh assembly election and emerge as the leading party in the Lok Sabha polls in the state.
Jagan Mohan led an aggressive election campaign against the Telugu Desam Party government of N Chandrababu Naidu in Andhra Pradesh while hitting out at the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress at the same time.
