YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy recorded a landslide victory in the 2019 general elections in Andhra Pradesh and made the grand old Telugu Desam Party lose the elections cheaply. Since its inception, TDP has not won fewer seats than it did in 2019.
YS Jagan Mohan Reddy led YSRCP started eyeing the clean sweep of elections by winning all the 175 seats in the general elections. Winning the local body elections in Kuppam, represented by Chandrababu Naidu gave a big hope that it can win all the seats, and the ruling party has been making plans to chive it.
Yet again, the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister said the party workers should work collectively to win 175 out of 175 seats. Addressing the party workers in Addanki, which is now represented by a TDP legislator Jagan reportedly said the same and urged the workers to think about it as per the media reports.
If we look into the practicalities of it, winning all the seats is next to impossible. No party in the state had managed to do so. In the previous general elections, YSRCP recorded a landslide victory due to various reasons as the TDP was in the bad books for not fighting for the state interests.
After coming to power, the YSRCP did not make any big change and the party did worse compared to TDP. The previous government at least raised its voice against the BJP. Coming to YCP, it almost went into hands-up mode.
YSRCP could not bring at least one big company to the state for employment. A few companies left the state due to various reasons. Due to its three capitals idea, the state did not have a strong capital yet and no one knows when the capital issue gets sorted. The administration in Hindu temples is not that great and a bunch of historic temples were destroyed.
Keeping all these things in mind it is next to impossible to win all the seats. Moreover, TDP lost many seats with a mere difference in votes polled. In constituencies like Hindupur and Kuppam, we cannot imagine the likes of Balakrishna and Chandrababu Naidu losing the polls.
