Chandrababu Naidu's big win in Andhra Pradesh, Jagan Reddy ...

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) supremo Chandrababu Naidu, who leads the NDA alliance in Andhra Pradesh along with the BJP and Pawan Kalyan's Jana Sena Party, is en route to wresting the southern state from the ruling Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) led by Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy.

The TDP has won 115 seats and is ahead in 19 of the 175 seats in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly, while the Jana Sena Party has 21 seats and the BJP has 8, taking the total alliance tally to 163. The YSRCP, which contested alone, is leading in 12 seats.

Naidu is likely to take the oath as Chief Minister on June 9 in Amaravati, sources told India Today.

Following the result, Jagan Reddy, who conceded the defeat, submitted his resignation to Andhra Pradesh Governor S Abdul Nazeer.

Addressing the media, the outgoing Chief Minister said, "Don't know what went wrong for us, but I sincerely served people. I have given a voice to the voiceless. All the best to those who have won," the YSRCP chief said.

He also held an internal meeting of the YSRCP to take stock of the current situation.

Meanwhile, Chandrababu Naidu had a chat with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah following the NDA alliance's stellar performance in Andhra Pradesh. The TDP chief congratulated both PM Modi and Shah on the alliance winning the maximum number of seats.

PM Modi and Shah also congratulated Chandrababu Naidu for which the TDP chief thanked them.

The India Today-Axis My India exit poll had projected a huge win for the NDA alliance in Andhra Pradesh assembly elections, with the TDP-BJP-JSP pact expected to win 98–120 seats. At the time of writing this report, the alliance won three seats and was ahead in 157 constituencies. The ruling YSRCP was predicted to secure between 55 and 77 seats. As per data shared by the Election Commission, Jagan Mohan Reddy's side has so far won zero seats and is leading in only 15.

As part of the seat-sharing pact, the TDP contested 144 Assembly and 17 Lok Sabha seats while the BJP fielded candidates in six Lok Sabha and 10 Assembly constituencies. The Jana Sena Party contested two Lok Sabha and 21 Assembly seats.

The results marked a strong comeback for the TDP, who suffered a debilitating blow by a much younger Jagan Reddy in the previous elections.
