AP Assembly Elections 2014 results Analysis

As per the latest information available on the 2014 assembly elections of Andhra Pradesh, there is a definite pattern with regards to the performance of the individual parties. Till now the Telangana Rashtra Samiti, Telugu Desam Party and the YSR Congress have emerged to be the main contenders and that too in concentrated pockets of the state, as it stands now prior to the proposed bifurcation.

Performance of Indian National Congress in Andhra Pradesh Assembly Elections 2014

In the 2009 elections Congress had swept one and all with 156 seats to its name. However, the 2014 polls have been a different story so far. It has performed creditably only in certain areas such as Mudhole, Jagtial, Narayankhed, Zahirabad and Pargi. Perhaps the UPA's decision to agree to the proposed creation of Telangana went against it in both Seemandhra and Telangana. In Telangana, possibly the people were upset at the amount of time taken to arrive at the decision and at Seemandhra, the voters were perturbed by the very decision itself.

Performance of Telugu Desam Party in Andhra Pradesh Assembly Elections 2014

During the 2009 elections the TDP had run the Congress close with 92 seats. This year too it has been a strong performer, especially at the eastern, western and southern parts of the state. Some constituencies where it has done well include Guntakal, Raptadu, Kanigiri, Udayagiri and Razole.

Performance of Left Front in Andhra Pradesh Assembly Elections 2014

The two representatives of left front in this south Indian state - CPI(M) and CPI - have never really been convincing performers over here. In the 2009 general elections, the CPI had won 4 seats and the CPI(M) had been victorious at a solitary constituency. This year too, the CPI(M) has won only at Bhadrachalam and the CPI has won at Devarakonda.

Performance of Bharatiya Janata Party in Andhra Pradesh Assembly Elections 2014

The BJP may have recently won the 2014 Lok Sabha polls by an unbelievable margin but its performance at the national level has not resonated in Andhra Pradesh. This year it has so far been victorious at Kaikalur, Tadepalligudem and Rajanagram. It is difficult to pinpoint as to why this has happened but one feels that lack of sufficient popularity could be an issue over here.

Performance of YSR Congress in Andhra Pradesh Assembly Elections 2014

The newly formed YSR Congress is one of the major political forces to have emerged out of the state in recent times. In the 2014 assembly elections, which happen to be its first as well, the party has indicated that it has the wherewithal to perform even better in the years ahead. It has virtually swept the southern part of the state as well as obtained majority of the seats in the eastern part of Andhra as well. Some of the constituencies where it has won are Alur, Allagadda, Gudur, Rampachodavaram and Pinapaka.

Performance of the other parties in Andhra Pradesh Assembly Elections 2014

A strange fact of the 2014 Vidhan Sabha elections of Andhra Pradesh is that the Praja Rajyam Party, which won at 18 seats last time, and the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen that was victorious in 7 constituencies is nowhere to be seen now. The same goes for the Lok Satta Party that bagged one seat last time around. However, the Bahujan Samaj Party that is contesting these elections for the first time has bagged the seats at Sirpur and Nirmal.

In the 2012 by-elections this party had claimed 12 seats out of the available 18 but now they would have to be happy with the position of the main opposition in the state assembly.

Jaganmohan Reddy, the party chief, has cited the influence of Narendra Modi with regards to the results but has vowed to come back in the next polls. Meanwhile, several experts have stated that TDP's focus on creating a new capital for the state and making sure the state grows economically after Hyderabad was lost was a major factor in clinching the votes in the party's favour.
