The Congress Party government has commenced and is urging citizens to vote for a "double engine" government to accelerate the state's development. On May 13, the Andhra Pradesh Assembly and Lok Sabha elections will take place, with 175 and 25 seats respectively. The TDP is running for 144 Assembly and 17 Lok Sabha seats under the seat sharing agreement, while the BJP is competing for 10 Assembly and six Lok Sabha seats, and the JSP for 21 Assembly and two Lok Sabha seats. After a ten-year gap, the TDP, BJP, and JSP have formed an alliance. In 2014, JSP supported the TDP-BJP coalition. Pawan Kalyan distanced himself from both parties, while the TDP broke ties with the BJP. In the 2019 elections, TDP and BJP ran separately, with YSR Congress winning power and BJP losing in both Assembly and Lok Sabha polls. The JSP, which teamed up with BSP and Left parties, only won one seat.
