Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan received congratulations from fellow ministers during the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, November 10, following the TDP-Jana Sena-BJP alliance’s victories in the recent local body elections.
According to reports, Chandrababu and Pawan Kalyan greeted each other with a handshake before entering the Cabinet meeting. They reportedly expressed satisfaction over the election results, saying the alliance had scored a major victory.
As the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister entered the Cabinet hall, ministers welcomed them with applause and congratulated both leaders on the alliance’s performance in the municipal and parishad elections.
The moment reflected the celebratory mood among the three alliance partners following the results. The TDP, Jana Sena and BJP secured substantial victories across urban and rural local bodies in Andhra Pradesh.
The celebrations came a day after Chandrababu addressed a press conference on the election results. He said the alliance secured 58.90 per cent of votes against YSRCP’s 33.56 per cent, establishing a reported lead of 25.34 percentage points.
Chandrababu also credited coordination among the alliance partners and the efforts of party workers for the election performance. He thanked voters for their support and said the results had increased the government’s responsibility.
The Cabinet meeting provided another occasion for ministers to acknowledge the election outcome, with Chandrababu and Pawan Kalyan at the centre of the celebrations.
The alliance leaders have described the local election results as public support for their development and welfare programmes, while the opposition YSRCP has raised concerns over aspects of the election process.
