Congress

156/294 seats · Ruling party
~
Continue and expand Aarogyasri
Continued but YSR's death Sept 2, 2009 derailed momentum. Coverage expanded but administrative chaos under three CMs in 4 years.
✕
Complete Jalayagnam irrigation projects
Most projects stalled or severely delayed. Corruption allegations intensified. CBN later accused YSRCP/Congress of diverting funds.
✕
Polavaram dam completion
Remained incomplete. Political turmoil post-YSR death and bifurcation crisis consumed governance bandwidth. Still incomplete as of 2024.
✕
Oppose AP bifurcation — keep state united
Congress passed AP Reorganisation Act in 2014 creating Telangana. Direct reversal of election promise. CM Kiran Kumar Reddy resigned in protest.
~
Farmer welfare continuation
Some continuation but post-YSR government lacked his personal connect with farmers. Agri distress continued in Rayalaseema and Vidarbha-adjacent areas.
✕
Good governance after YSR
Three CMs in 5 years (YSR, Rosaiah, Kiran Kumar) created instability. Telangana agitation consumed administration. Governance widely seen as weakest Congress AP term.
