Jagan Mohan Reddy the man on padayatra is getting a good response. But is that enough for him to win the election is big question? His father YS Rajasekhar Reddy walked the length and breadth of Andhra Pradesh and he got the power. The same formula is being used by his son YS Jagan. Recently there were rumours that he was trying to woo the PM Modi and come out of the red from the court cases. Even now he has to visit the court every Friday.
There is news that Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan is also sailing with BJP and that was the reason he branded as TDP as a corrupt party. He alleged that the CM of AP Chandrababu Naidu and also his son Lokesh are involved in corruption. TDP will lose the next elections he predicted.
There was news that Jagan and Janasena would come together and contest the next elections in the state of AP. Suddenly union Minister Athawale who was in Hyderabad came out of the blue and almost gave an open invite to Jagan to join the NDA and said that the would become the CM. He said that supporting NDA will give him all the benefit of becoming the CM.
Athawale also opined that the TD chief Chandrababu made a mistake by coming out of the NDA.
If he was with the NDA he would have achieved the special status to AP Athawale said. But it has to be seen how Jagan and YSRC leaders would react to the invite from the BJP. Is it from the NDA or is it from Athawale in person has to be verified.
In Andhra Jagan is doing better than BJP leaders.In fact, some of the BJP leaders are looking at the TDP and would join the party soon.
If Jagan joins the BJP, it will be good for BJP and Jagan will also get some support and credibility. He will be saved from the court cases for the time being and if Modi comes to Power again, Jagan can forget about the cases for another 5 years. So it is advantage Jagan.
