2004 Indian general election in Andhra Pradesh

In United Andhra Pradesh, the general elections and state assembly elections were held simultaneously. In both, the ruling Telugu Desam Party-Bharatiya Janata Party (TDP-BJP) combine was routed. BJP could not win a single seat. The result was a landslide victory for the United Progressive Alliance which won 34 out of 42 seats, which reflects the state elections that occurred before the general elections, where National Democratic Alliance (NDA) member, TDP, was defeated soundly by Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy and the Indian National Congress. Alliance with CPM and CPI helped the Congress party. Congress had contested in alliance with the communist parties and the TRS.Report on General Elections to Lok Sabha and Andhra Pradesh, Official website of the Chief Electoral Officer, Andhra PradeshVoting results in General Elections to Lok Sabha and Andhra Pradesh, Official website of the Chief Electoral Officer, Andhra Pradesh
