Along with Naidu, Jana Sena Party (JSP) chief Pawan Kalyan and Nara Lokesh, the TDP chief' son, also took the oath near Gannavaram Airport in Kesarapalli on the outskirts of Vijayawada. According to sources, Pawan Kalyan has been offered the Deputy Chief Minister's post in the Andhra Pradesh Cabinet. The Jana Sena Party is being offered three Cabinet berths and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) just one.
The TDP stormed into power in alliance with the JSP and BJP by winning 164 seats in the 175-strong Andhra Pradesh Assembly. The Naidu-led TDP won 135 seats on its own while the JSP won 21 and the BJP 8. The TDP got 1,53,84,576 votes with a vote share of 45.60 per cent.
