Hyderabad: The political equations may change the fate of YSR Congress and Telugu Desam in Seemandhra in the forthcoming general elections, if the state would be divided before the polls. If the TD has an alliance with BJP and if the new political party being floated by some Seemandhra Congress leaders come true, then the YSRC has to face a big challenge.
The “Modi”?factor is a worry to YSRC, as the youth are favoring him. According to sources, a latest survey conducted by TD revealed, if TD has an alliance with BJP it will strengthen the TD further. The political observers said the YSRC is in top position in Seemandhra, and there will be no chance further to strengthen and expect to lose its strength for various reasons.
However, both the YSRC and TD leaders claimed that they are in a number one position in Seemandhra. A minister from Seemandhra said if the state divides or not, there won’t be any change in the fate of the Congress. He said the main fight will be between the YSRC and TD and Congress will be no more in the picture.
In Seemandhra, more particularly in urban areas, Brahmin Vysya communities are in favour of BJP prime minister candidate Narendra Modi. The majority of youth are also supporting Modi. BJP will fight alone in the elections.
It may change YSRC and TD candidates’ future, by splitting the votes, but it gains nothing. TD has strong party cadre in Seemandhra, but if TD and BJP have an alliance it will help both parties and at the same time it will damage the YSRC chances.
A?YSRC leader said, it is a fact that Modi factor will work out if it has an alliance with TD, and will split YSRC votes, but it cannot stop the winning chances of their party. He said as of now there is 10 to 13 per cent vote difference between the YSRC and TD and if TD and BJP has an alliance the difference may come down to 8 to 10 per cent.
YSRC spokesperson Ambati Rambabu said if TD and BJP has alliance and a new political party is floated by Congress leaders, then that will help their party more in getting majority in the elections.
Seemandhra people won’t accept TD and BJP alliance because it is unholy alliance.
TD chief N. Chandrababu Naidu himself announced openly, in the past, that they made a historical mistake to have an alliance with BJP, so how can the people accept their alliance, he questioned.
At the same time if a new political party will be floated by Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy or some other Congress leader, it will split the Congress votes only and not YSRC votes.
TD’s Kambhampati Rammohan Rao said winning of TD in Seemandhra is certain, no one can stop it.
