Despite being the MLA of Kuppam for 35 years and the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh for 14 years, N. Chandrababu Naidu has come under fire for neglecting his constituency. The lack of development in Kuppam stands in stark contrast to the progress made in neighboring constituencies under different chief ministers. The YSR Congress Party is now aiming to defeat Naidu in the 2024 elections, citing the backwardness of the region and the unfulfilled promises of the past. The upcoming election is seen as a test of Naidu’s popularity versus the desperation of his opponents.
