Chandrababu Naidu: New Andhra Chief Minister Or Kingmaker?

Chandrababu Naidu-led Telugu Desam Party (TDP) is set to make a comeback to power in Andhra Pradesh with a landslide victory in both Assembly and Lok Sabha polls as per the early trends of the Election Commission of India (ECI). As per the Election Commission data, the TDP has won 10 seats and is leading on 123 seats in the Vidhan Sabha. Its allies, the BJP have won 1 seat and are leading on 7 others, and the Janasena Party has won 3 seats and is leading on 18 seats.  While YSRCP was leading on 14 in the state's 175 assembly seats. From utilising the star power of Telugu action hero, Pawan Kalyan to power steering the alliance with BJP, which had little presence in the state, Mr Naidu has orchestrated the win for NDA in the state.
