Abstract
The simultaneous elections were held to the Andhra Pradesh legislative Assembly and Lok Sabha in 2019. These were the first elections that have been held in divided Andhra Pradesh. In 2014 also simultaneous elections were held in the state in undivided Andhra Pradesh. The 2019 elections were held under special circumstances in the state. The special status that was guaranteed to the state while dividing the state became hopeless as the NDA led Union Government turned deaf ear to the special status promised by the INC led UPA Government just before 2014 elections. In 2019 the then ruling Telugu Desam Party contested without any alliance with another national and state parties. In these elections the then opposition YSRCP party in the state came with new vigour with successful completion of Padayatra by the party chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy. In this research work an attempt is made to analyse the results of 17th Lok Sabha elections in Andhra Pradesh State.
