Andhra Pradesh, 1947 to today

Every Chief Minister, scheme, law and turning point. Titles show the state government in office; Centre (…) marks central projects, and dashed markers show President's Rule. Until October 1953 the prefixes show the Madras State government; Hyderabad State (Telangana) is labelled separately until 1956. Telangana events after June 2014 are on its own page.
