The YSRCP got an absolute majority in the 175-member Assembly, ousting N Chandrababu Naidu-led Telugu Desam Party (TDP) from power in the state. The party won 151 seats, whereas TDP's strength was drastically reduced from 102 in the 2014 Assembly elections to a mere 23.
In the Lok Sabha, YSRCP bagged 22 seats out of the state's 25 with rest three going to the TDP.
Taking a jibe at Naidu, Reddy recently said, "The fate of Chandrababu Naidu proves that God will punish those who act without justice. Chandrababu had purchased and grabbed 23 MLAs and 3 MPs of YSRCP in 2014. But now in 2019, his party TDP is left with 23 MLAs and 3 MPs. God alone can write such great script and do such a wonderful poetic justice."
Local priests met Chief Minister- designate YS Jagan Mohan Reddy to bless him ahead of his swearing-in ceremony on Thursday afternoon in Vijayawada.
Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao and DMK president MK Stalin were present at the swearing-in ceremony.
