The TDP, which was part of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance until 2018, expressed interest in reviving the alliance after suffering a crushing defeat in the 2019 elections.

The state has 25 Lok Sabhas and 175 Assembly seats.

Elections for Lok Sabha polls are expected to be held in April-May.

The ruling party is eyeing a third term under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and has set a target of winning 370 seats on its own and 400 with allies. (ANI).
