He stated that the NDA alliance parties had secured a decisive victory in the local body elections, with public support for the alliance increasing significantly compared to the 2024 general elections. Chandrababu Naidu said the alliance secured 58.9 per cent of the votes in urban local bodies and Parishad elections combined, registering an increase of 3.6 percentage points compared to the 55.3 per cent vote share recorded in the 2024 elections. In contrast, the YSRCP's vote share declined from 39.81 per cent to 33.56 per cent, a drop of 6.25 percentage points.

Polling was conducted for 582 ZPTCs and 7,767 MPTCs in 28 districts on November 5 following the declaration of 77 and 2,051 ZPTCs and MPTCs respectively as unanimously elected. The TDP and its allies, the Jana Sena Party (JSP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) captured majority of the seats. The TDP emerged as the largest party, winning 406 ZPTCs and 4,806 MPTCs. The JSP led by Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan bagged 73 ZPTCs and 938 MPTCs. The BJP won 20 ZPTCs and 117 MPTCs. The YSRCP, which was crushed by the ruling TDP-led coalition in the urban local body elections last week, performed better, winning 76 ZPTCs and 1,711 MPTCs.

The YSRCP leaders alleged that the counting of votes polled in the ZPTCs and MPTCs was fraught with irregularities, and the State Election Commission ignored their complaints. YSRCP Chief Jagan Mohan Reddy alleged that irregularities continue to taint the local body elections under Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. He claimed that like during the municipal election count, officials during the ZPTC and MPTC vote count were also pressured to manipulate results in several districts. Democracy is being undermined at every turn. Chandrababu Naidu may have won the election, but he has suffered a moral defeat. We may have lost the election, but we have won the hearts of the people, Jagan Mohan Reddy said. Power may help someone win an election, but it cannot earn the people's trust. Democracy may be suppressed, but the people's aspirations cannot be silenced. I salute our party leaders and workersespecially the womenwho stood firm in defence of democracy despite obstacles, attacks and intimidation. We will continue this struggle with even greater determination, the former Chief Minister added.

Andhra Pradesh CM visits cyclone-hit Guntur, Bapatla districts
Digital Desk | Amaravati, Nov 6 (IANS) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Friday visited cyclone-affected areas in Guntur and Bapatla districts and assured assistance to all affected people. He conducted a field-level inspection of crops damaged and fields submerged due to the cyclone Murasu. The Chief Minister assured that a comprehensive assessment of the damage caused by the cyclones is underway, and pledged that the government would continue its efforts until every affected individual receives assistance. He stated that crop insurance and input subsidies would provide some relief to farmers by compensating for a portion of their lost investment. During his visit to Bapatla district, he walked from Jillellamudi to Returu village to personally understand the hardships faced by the farmers. CM Naidu spoke to farmers, officials, and public representatives along the way to assess the extent of the damage caused by the cyclone. He stopped frequently to engage in direct conversations with the farmers. Walking along the embankments of irrigation canals and field channels, the Chief Minister inspected the submerged paddy fields. He inquired about the investments made by the farmers, their projected yields, and the specific details of their losses. At the Jillellamudi bridge, the Chief Minister inspected the intensity of the floodwaters. Farmers and officials explained how the surge in the stream had caused surrounding areas to become submerged. In Returu village, the Chief Minister walked through the area to inspect paddy fields submerged in floodwaters. The farmers expressed their distress, explaining that they had cultivated their crops after receiving irrigation water through the Pattiseema project; however, just as they were anticipating a good harvest, a cyclone struck, causing severe losses. The Chief Minister inquired about the investments the farmers had made in their crops and whether they had secured crop insurance. It was explained that crop insurance and government input subsidies serve as a vital support system for farmers during natural disasters. Officials were instructed to raise greater awareness among farmers regarding crop insurance. Plans should be devised to ensure water is provided ahead of the regular cultivation season, allowing farmers to sow crops early and thereby reduce the risk posed by cyclones. It was noted that the completion of the Polavaram project would create further opportunities for early-season cultivation. Addressing people in Returu, the Chief Minister said that the state had suffered significant damage due to the cyclones. He expressed deep concern that these cyclones struck just as crops were ready for harvest, dealing a severe blow to the farming community. CM Naidu noted that farmerswho were already grappling with the effects of El Ninohad managed to cultivate their crops thanks to irrigation water provided via the Pattiseema project, but the recent cyclone caused extensive losses. He added that proactive measures taken by the government helped mitigate much of the potential damage. The cyclone had a particularly severe impact on the Guntur, Bapatla and Prakasam districts. He urged the public not to take cyclone warnings lightly and to remain vigilant whenever such alerts are issued. The Chief Minister noted that 30,000 electricity poles, which had fallen due to one cyclone, have been restored, while another 10,000 poles were damaged by a subsequent cyclone. He added that efforts are underway to rapidly restore power supply to aquaculture ponds. He further revealed that assistance is being sought from the states of Telangana, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu for cyclone relief operations. CM Naidu mentioned that the Central government has been kept informed about the impact of the cyclones, and that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also inquired about the situation.
