1998 Indian general election in Andhra Pradesh
The 1998 Indian general election in Andhra Pradesh was a pivotal political event, held concurrently with the national elections to elect members to the 12th Lok Sabha. Conducted in two phases on April 26 and May 4, 1998, the election witnessed significant participation from a varied electorate. The Telugu Desam Party (TDP), led by N. Chandrababu Naidu, emerged as the dominant force, securing a substantial number of seats and consolidating its position after a period of political upheaval. The Indian National Congress, under the leadership of Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy, faced challenges in the state, while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) began to make inroads. The election's outcome was characterized by intense campaigning and shifts in voter allegiance, reflecting the changing political landscape of Andhra Pradesh.
