With Marathon Wins In Local Body, Municipal Elections in 2021, YSRCP is Unstoppable in AP

The year 2021 proved to be a resounding success for the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) in the State of Andhra Pradesh. After the stupendous win in the General Elections in 2019, the YSRCP continued its winning streak in 2021 with a series of victories in the Panchayat, Parishad, and Municipal elections and has emerged as an unstoppable force.

In the first year of his tenure as Chief Minister, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy fulfilled 95 percent of the promises made in the General Elections. As a result of the welfare development schemes implemented by CM YS Jagan, the popularity of YSRCP continues to grow with the good governance being provided.

YSRCP, which won 151 Assembly seats (86.28 percent) and 22 Lok Sabha seats (88 percent) with 50 percent of the vote in the general elections.

One can rightly say that the YSRCP trounced the Opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) led by Chandrababu Naidu. Despite making attempts to stall the local body elections for a year through various legal means and methods, the TDP could not deter the conduct of the elections and subsequently lost with the people’s mandate in favour of TDP.
