Politics in Avanigadda are always interesting. Starting from 1960s, the Congress Party had the upperhand, but soon with the entry of Telugu Desam (1983) the scenario changed and it came under Telugu Desam (TDP). It was in 1999 again the congress won, mainly because of division between TDP local Leaders. In 2004 also it was the same case in TDP and again Congress won easily. Now everybody is eager and are waiting for 2009 State Elections, especially people here are waiting for Megastars Party. Poll statistics for Avanigadda from 1952
