1984 Indian general election in Andhra Pradesh

The 1984 Indian general election in Andhra Pradesh was a significant political event held as part of the nationwide parliamentary elections in India. Conducted in the backdrop of the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in October 1984, the election took place in a climate of heightened political tension. The Indian National Congress (INC), under the leadership of Rajiv Gandhi, emerged victorious, securing a commanding majority in the Lok Sabha and reinforcing the party's dominance in the state. The election saw the INC win 37 out of 42 parliamentary seats in Andhra Pradesh, reflecting a strong wave of support following Gandhi's rise to leadership. Voter turnout was notably high, attributed to public sentiment and a desire for stability during a tumultuous period in Indian politics.
