There is confusion in Andhra Pradesh if the BJP will join the opposition or not in fighting the YSRCP. Pawan Kalyan had constantly been pushing for a triangular alliance and at some stage the dialogue with the BJP took off.
The BJP is said to have conveyed that it is ready to contest from Araku, Rajahmundry, Vijayawada, Tirupati, Hindupur and Rajampet Lok Sabha constituencies and restrict itself to around 10 Assembly segments.
The Jana Sena on the other hand was okay with two Lok Sabha seats and 30 Assembly segments.
The TD, however, was of the view that BJP leaders who wanted to test their electoral fortunes were eager for the alliance and pushing their central leadership, hoping to win by being part of the TD-JS combine.
Right now the BJP is in a dilemma if it should go with the Sena -TDP combine or remain with YSRC. YSRCP has more than 20 seats and has been supporting the BJP.
Babu was interested in joining the BJP but so far there are no positive signs from Delhi. Pawan Kalyan says he has a tie-up with the BJP, TDP says they are with the Jana Sena.
What is the position of the BJP is not known so far. The BJP in reality is dependent on the Charmisa of Modi and they dont have any local support.
The TDP Chief Purndeshwari related to Babu is trying to move heaven and earth to make some impact in AP. The TDP-Sena are in a buoyant mood and are confident of winning the elections.
Chandrababu the TDP chief has already started the election campaign from Ongole.
