Paripoornananda Swami: The seat adjustment process between the alliance parties in AP has come to a head. As part of the alliance, 31 Assembly and 8 Parliament seats had to be given away, leaving many senior TDP leaders without a place. They are all very unhappy. Some are preparing to contest as independents. But as time is running out, the High Command is making various efforts to appease it. In some places they are working out, but in some other places the disgruntled leaders are not retreating. On the other hand, BJP persisted and won more seats in the areas held by Telugu Desam Party. It remains to be seen how much TDP seniors' cooperation will be in such places.
On the one hand, the TDP is suffering by sacrificing seats, on the other hand, the movement of the BJP leaders is causing problems. BJP has been allotted two assembly seats in Anantapur district. With this, a kind of dissatisfaction is being expressed in the Telugu Desam Party. However, TDP along with BJP are getting upset as Prakrananda Swamiji who was hoping for BJP ticket is now turning away. Swamiji is at the forefront of Hinduism. Praying for Hinduism. He was connected to BJP because of RSS ideologies. Modi's policies are appreciated. But in this election, it was thought to contest from Hindupuram Parliament seat. If not, at least his name should be considered for the Assembly seat. But the BJP high command did not care much. A ticket was not allotted to Praveranananda Swami.
At present Swamiji is burning with great anger. A key decision has been reached. He expressed his displeasure along with BJP state president Purandeshwari. He is saying that he will contest as an independent from the Hindupuram Lok Sabha seat as well as the assembly seat. TDP leader BK Parthasarathy is contesting from Hindupuram parliamentary seat and Nandamuri Balakrishna from assembly seat. On the other hand, YCP wants to assert its power in Anantapur district anyway. It was exactly at this time that Swamiji was preparing to contest as an independent with dissatisfaction. As it is a border area and it is an area with Hindutva ideology, there is a possibility of splitting Swamiji's votes. This is becoming an embarrassing development for TDP leaders.
