KAKINADA: The  Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader Chandra Babu Naidu celebrated the party's win in the Kakinada municipal polls.

Naidu said "All our senior leaders worked at the ground level without any egos. We will develop Kakinada as a model city. Encouraging sports personalities like P.V. Sindhu, K. Srikanth, Jyothi Surekha," 

The  Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu also distributed sweets to his party members in his office.

In the election result, the  Telugu Desam Paty (TDP) got  32 seats of the 42 divisions while Yuvajana Shramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) won 10 seats, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and others got three seats.

In the Kakinada local election, the Telugu Desam Paty (TDP) had contested only 39 of the 48 divisions, leaving the rest to the BJP.

Chosen to be developed as a Smart City, Kakinada has a strong Kaput community existence where an agitation for Other Backward Class (OBC) status for Kapus is going on for past one year.

This was a major setback for the YSRCP after the defeat in recent Nandyal by polls.
