Andhra Pradesh, India – December 31, 2025 – As 2025 concludes, Andhra Pradesh’s political and economic landscape presents a mixed picture. According to The Hindu e-Paper, the TDP-led NDA alliance, which achieved a significant victory in the 2024 elections, appears to have successfully navigated the year without major political crises.
However, the year proved challenging for the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), remaining under scrutiny and in the news throughout 2025. While the reasons for the scrutiny are not detailed in this excerpt, it is clear the organization faced significant challenges.
Perhaps the most pressing issue in Andhra Pradesh this year was the plight of tomato farmers in the Rayalaseema region. Extreme weather conditions, fluctuating prices, and diminishing yields have transformed the region’s once-profitable tomato belt into a year-long struggle. The Hindu reports on the devastating impact these factors have had on farmers and traders in Madanapalle, detailing how 2025 effectively “crushed” the region’s tomato industry.
