The TDP circles now say that the BJP is not behind the arrest of Chandrababu Babu and that Jagan the AP CM did it on his own as part regime’s revenge.
The BJP Chiefs from AP and TS were present when the matter was represented to the Minister for Home in Delhi by TDP National GS Lokesh. There is news that Amit Shah has given all the information to drive home the point that the BJP was not behind the arrest of the former AP CM.
This was done to drive home the point for the people in the Telugu states who have all the sympathy for IT Babu.
Earlier the BJP was also worried that they might lose the vote as people thought BJP gave the green signal for Babu’s arrest. Lokesh and the family are confident that Chandrababu will be released at the earliest.
The quash petition will come up on Friday and the court thinks that it is a fit case for 17 A and the judgment will become a precedent for the future generations.
But all said and done it has done some damage to the BJP and more damage to the YSRC. But there is no clarity from the BJP if it would be part of the alliance to counter the YSRC in AP.
Pawan and Babu want the BJP to join them to trounce YSRC in the coming elections. But Jagan as such is maintaining good relations with the BJP and pledging the support in many ways.
YSRCP has 25 MP seats and the BJP needs the support. At the same time, Pawan and Babu are ready to support the BJP in the future. The elections in April in AP.
Both Babu and Lokesh were getting good response in the meetings and Jagan could break the momentum with these Court cases.
