Background

Prior to 2004 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly elections a pre-poll alliance was formed by the Indian National Congress, Telangana Rashtra Samithi, Communist Party of India and Communist Party of India (Marxist) to contest in the elections against the sole incumbent contender Telugu Desam Party.{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/states/story/20040607-ys-rajasekhara-reddy-sworn-chief-minister-andhra-pradesh-order-sops-farmers-789753-2004-06-06|title=Andhra Pradesh CM Y.S.
