Telangana TDP : Why KCR Should Worry Now?

There are high chances of unpredictability in politics. One big development could change the whole political scenario and existing calculations. In Telangana, many predicted that Telugu Desam will vanish but thanks to Telangana CM KCR who floated Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and this helped TDP in finding its roots back.

With Assembly elections approaching, TRS was converted into a national party while TDP which had national status long ago, ignited questions as to why it should not show its presence in Telangana. TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu has risked all the odds by hosting a massive public meeting in Khammam and this has turned advantage for the party.

Now the Telangana political circles are widely discussing about the crowd that attended TDP’s meeting in Khammam. If all this is a leap, the big question is who will benefit and lose, if TDP gets stronger in Telangana? There are many assumptions and analyses for the same.

But if TDP goes from strength to strength, it’s the TRS that would suffer. The reason being a majority of the TDP cadre have shifted to TRS while prominent leaders joined the Congress. If unexpected developments take place, the vote share that belonged to TRS might shift to TDP.

In the last elections, TDP votes were polled to TRS and in 2019 AP general elections, KCR worked in favour of Jagan against Chandrababu. TDP supporters and sympathisers believe that KCR is also responsible for TDP’s humiliating defeat in the same elections and they are angry at the TRS boss. But they were in a helpless situation back then and now the equations have changed.

Regardless of political issues, wherever TDP contests, it is estimated that the party can get at least 1,000 to 5,000 votes. If that happens, the damage could be more to KCR and the BRS party. Yet it all depends on who TDP and BRS will reach the public for votes!
