This is likely to bring TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu back as chief minister, just months after he was arrested by the Andhra Pradesh CID in connection with an alleged scam in the AP Skill Development Corporation during his last tenure.
His party’s performance in the Lok Sabha elections will also make him an important player nationally at a time when the BJP looks unlikely to cross the majority mark by itself for the Lok Sabha.
The TDP, which had won only 23 seats last time, is currently leading in 136 seats on its own. Its ally Jana Sena Party, which only had one seat last time, is now leading in all 21 seats it contested. The BJP, which is also part of the alliance, is leading in eight of the 10 seats it fought from. TDP’s Naidu is leading in Kuppam, while JSP chief K Pawan kalyan is leading in Pithapuram.
