TDP And Janasena Alliance: The main opposition parties TDP and Janasena have jointly announced their candidates for the Andhra Pradesh assembly elections. Candidates for 118 seats have been announced as part of the first phase. As part of the alliance, Chandrababu announced that 24 Assembly and three Parliament seats will be allotted to the Jana Sena. Chandrababu revealed the names of 94 candidates on behalf of TDP. Until yesterday everyone thought that BJP too would join the TDP and Jana Sena alliance. Eventually Chandrababu Naidu also gave similar signals. He showed the same tendency in the case of announcement of candidates. But I don't know what happened at the last minute but there was no mention of Kamalam in this alliance at all.
When asked by reporters if there was no mention of Kamalam Party regarding the allocation of seats in the first phase, he said, “Our alliance with Janasena Party has been finalised. As a part of that, we have announced the first batch of seats. If BJP joins our alliance then we will think about alliance with them.. At present we have announced the first phase of seats. Chandrababu announced that the details of the candidates in the second phase will be revealed very soon. On the other hand, Pawan Kalyan announced that the alliance will have the blessings of the BJP. Many suspicions are being expressed in the background of contradictory statements made by the leaders of the two parties on the alliance with the BJP.
Chandrababu Naidu met Union Home Minister Amit Shah recently. Many things were discussed. The alliance was mentioned in the conversation between the two of them. Later, it was reported that the alliance did not last as there was no consensus on the seats. As a part of this, political analysts say that BJP has not been mentioned in the details of the seats announced on Saturday. It seems that if an alliance with BJP was reached, the candidates of that party would also get a place in this type of seats.
On the other hand, it seems that BJP is staying away from this alliance because it does not like the allocation of seats proposed by TDP. “Till now BJP has said that it will join our alliance. He said that allotment of seats will be done in a manner acceptable to all. Amit Shah also said that he has given green signal to the alliance. But when it comes to allotment of seats, there is no mention of BJP in it,” say political analysts. If they come together, they are saying alliance with BJP. In the wake of Jana Sena TDP's first batch of candidates being revealed, how BJP will react remains to be seen.
