Andhra Pradesh's two major political parties are working hard to raise the political temperature in the state. While the opposition tdp is wrapping up its annual Mahanadu festival in Ongole, the ruling ysr congress is having a bus yatra with ministers from the SC, ST, BC, and Minorities. This year, the TDP's Mahanadu proved to be a great crowd pleaser. The tdp ranks assembled in big numbers, giving the battered leadership a new lease on life after the devastating defeat in the 2019 elections and consecutive losses in local body elections.

Chandrababu Naidu and his son lokesh have gone on a district tour, ratcheting up the political rhetoric against the ruling party and chief minister, Y S jagan Mohan Reddy. chandrababu naidu, who is 72 years old, is fighting a never-ending war to make a comeback in the next elections, and he is leaving no stone unturned to shift the public sentiment. With massive crowds attending his rallies throughout the districts and the Mahanadu event in Ongole, Naidu has once again shown to be a crowd pleaser. The ysr congress, for its part, is working hard to replicate its triumph in the upcoming election, reducing the opposition tdp to even fewer seats than the 23 it gained in the previous election.

Every month, jagan Mohan reddy makes at least two trips to the districts, while his party members are busy conducting door-to-door visits. The ministers' bus yatra is also drawing large crowds, providing the impression that the party will win the next election. With roughly equal numbers of people uniting behind both the ruling ysr congress and the opposition tdp, one wonders what the scenario would be when the main war begins in 2024 or even sooner, as chandrababu naidu predicts.
