Actor-turned-politician Pawan Kalyan took oath as one of Andhra Pradesh’s cabinet ministers in a significant political development. The Janasena Party chief was elected the leader of the Legislative party following a major electoral victory by the NDA alliance in the state elections. Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader Chandrababu Naidu assumed the role of Chief Minister.

The National Democratic Alliance (NDA), comprising the TDP, Janasena Party, and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), secured a landslide win in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly elections, capturing 164 out of 175 seats. The TDP emerged as the dominant force with 135 seats, while the Janasena Party and BJP won 21 and 8 seats, respectively.
