However, the current delay of 57 days between the schedule and polling has raised eyebrows and led to speculation about its potential impact on the ruling party. The Central election commission, as an independent body, has cited the deadline for the ap Legislative assembly as the reason for the delayed elections. This has led to arguments both for and against the decision, with some questioning the timing of the postponement and alleging political pressure behind the scenes.

While the ec typically consults officials and considers various factors before finalizing election dates, the decision ultimately rests with the commission to ensure free and fair polls. However, some tdp sources claim that the intervention of their leader, Chandrababu Naidu, influenced the decision to delay the elections. With the elections now set for a later date, both the tdp and ycp are strategizing accordingly. 

The tdp is aiming to leverage this additional time for campaigning and organizational efforts, while the ycp is gearing up for the upcoming polls, albeit with a sense of urgency due to the extended timeline. Overall, the delay in elections has sparked discussions and speculations within political circles, with each party adapting its strategies to the new timeline.
