2014 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election
The 2014 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election took place on 30 April and 7 May 2014 to elect members to the legislatures of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. It was held concurrently with the Indian general election. The results were declared on 16 May 2014. The Telugu Desam Party led by N. Chandrababu Naidu won a majority of the 175 seats in the residual Andhra Pradesh, while Telangana Rashtra Samithi led by K. Chandrashekar Rao won in the new state of Telangana.
In the 2009 Andhra Pradesh Assembly election, Congress had taken the lead, winning 156 of the 294 seats in the Assembly. As the leader of the Congress Legislature Party, Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy was invited to form the government by Governor N. D. Tiwari.
Unexpectedly, the Government lasted for 4 years 9 months, and the president rule was imposed later which expired on 30 May 2014. The Election Commission of India (ECI) decided to hold the Assembly elections along with the general election. The election in each Assembly constituency (AC) was held in the same phase as the election to the corresponding Parliamentary constituency that the AC falls under.
On 3 October 2013, the Union Cabinet of India approved the creation of the new State of Telangana. On 2 June 2014 the President of India, Pranab Mukherjee issued a gazette notification which formalised the separation of Telangana from Andhra Pradesh.
The election was the first to be held after the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, with the leftist parties contesting separately following differences over the creation of Telangana, which was supported by the Communist Party of India and opposed by the Communist Party of India (Marxist).
In Telangana, the CPI allied with the Indian National Congress while both parties contested separately in Andhra Pradesh. The CPI(M) had an electoral understanding with the YSR Congress Party in assembly constituencies under the Khammam and Mahabubabad parliament constituencies in Telangana, while contesting independently in Andhra Pradesh.
The Telugu Desam Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party contested together as part of the National Democratic Alliance in both states, with the support of the newly formed Janasena Party. The Telangana Rashtra Samithi contested independently in Telangana alone.
Former and last Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh N. Kiran Kumar Reddy formed the Jai Samaikyandhra Party, advocating the reunification of the state.
