Established after the delimitation exercise in 2008, the Araku Lok Sabha constituency has been a stronghold of the YSRCP if the results of the elections held so far are of any indication. With back-to-back victories in the 2014 and 2019 elections, the ruling YSRCP has set its sights on a hat-trick victory in the ST-reserved constituency.
On the other hand, the BJP, which has been allotted the seat as a part of the seat-sharing agreement with the TDP and the JSP, seems to make every effort to see that the saffron flag flies high in the constituency.
