However, in the recently-concluded Lok Sabha elections the BJP emerged as the single largest party, falling 32 seats short of the majority. It has formed the government with the support of its alliance partners such as the TDP and JDU.
In the assembly polls, the TDP-led by Chandra Babu Naidu defeated the YS Jagan's YSRCP while the BJP ended Naveen Patnaik's 24-year rule in Odisha.
