According to the Election Watch âAssociation for Democratic Reforms organisation, the affidavits and the details of the electoral expenditure of the candidates has shown that the YSRCP had spent less than the allowed amount.

Jammu Kashmir's Anantanag MP Hasnain Masoodii (Rs 79.27 lakh) and Gorakhpur's BJP MP Ravikishan spent Rs 57.85 lakh. They are among those who spent huge amounts. BJP's Adilabad MP Soyam Bapurao spent Rs 28,500 from his personal expenses, while the party spent Rs 49.99 lakh on him. Shiv Sena MPs too have spent huge amounts. The average expenditure of Shiv Sena MP Candidates was Rs 59.26 lakh, while TRS came second with Rs 57.85 lakh per MP.
