TDP chief Naidu who ditched NDA & allied with Congress in 2018 now promises to be reliable partner to BJP. Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan calls Modi 'Krishna'.
Telugu Desam Party has revealed names of all 94 candidates, while Jana Sena Party has revealed only 5. Announcement comes amid suspense over old ally BJP's entry into the alliance.
While one JSP leader pegged party’s expectations in 60 assembly seats, a leader of TDP, the bigger alliance partner, said Pawan Kalyan’s party had good prospects in only around 30 seats.
On 14 September, Kalyan visited Naidu in the Rajahmundry Central Jail where the latter has been lodged after he was sent to Judicial custody in a 'skill development scam'.
Jagan Mohan Reddy says he's 'not worried' about Naidu's TDP joining hands with JSP. Alliance is expected to attract Kapu votes, but CM says his govt has done 'more for Kapus than promised'.
Though the 3 parties came together for 2014 polls, TDP left NDA in 2018 over issue of special category status to Andhra. BJP leadership is reticent but some in party open to joining JSP-TDP.
2024 in India is the radicalisation of rights. Regardless of the verdict next month, this Lok Sabha election has silently asserted a return to the original promise of democracy.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
