It seems like Andhra Pradesh politics seeing a never ending triangular love story between BJP – Janasena and TDP. When Janasena wants alliance with TDP and BJP, AP BJP has other opinion. BJP Andhra Pradesh president Somu Veerraju made it clear that the BJP would travel along only with Jana Sena. Somu made the statement when the mediapersons asked him about Jana Sena chief and actor Pawan Kalyan’s Delhi tour and the BJP’s alliance with the TDP. The Jana Sena and TDP are still in an alliance, he said.
Speaking to reporters in Vijayawada, he said that Pawan Kalyan met the BJP national president and BJP Andhra Pradesh in-charge because the party has a truck with the Jana Sena. Just because Pawan met TDP supremo N. Chandrababu, we cannot conclude that the TDP and Jana Sena have come together. He reminded that he sat beside Chandrababu Naidu during the President polls and said that does not mean they are together.
Somu said that the BJP and Jana Sena would fight together against the ruling YCP. In politics, nothing goes in scripted lines, he said.
Appealed to the BJP for an alliance to fight YCP: Manohar indirectly hints pact with TDP
Meanwhile, JS senior leader Nadendla Manohar indirectly said that they had appealed to the BJP leadership to take the TDP too into the alliance.
After the Delhi tour, Manohar spoke to the media persons in the party office at the Mangalagiri office. When asked if the JS had discussed about the truck with the TDP, he said that every aspect would be discussed in detail, in politics.
He said that during his meet with the BJP leaders, Pawan spoke about the politics in Andhra Pradesh. “We told the BJP about our goal of preventing the split of the anti-YCP votes. They too understood our aim and believe that they would take a positive decision soon. All the opposition parties would get united and fight for a YCP-free Andhra Pradesh,” Manohar said.
“The Jana Sena believes that the YCP government would go for early polls. Our party chief Pawan Kalyan would take a right decision at the right moment. As the Jana Sena is in an alliance with the BJP, we have the responsibility to inform about our decision beforehand and we did it.”
To a query, he said that rumours were being spread about the BJP not agreeing to an alliance with the TDP.
Speaking about BJP senior leader Madhav’s remarks that the Jana Sena failed to express its solidarity with the BJP in the MLC polls, he said that it was their lack of undersanding.
“The Jana Sena is becoming strong at the grassroots. Even the BJP should strengthen themselves in the state. The Jana Sena had not contested the MLC polls,” Manohar clarified.
The JS senior leader informed that their party leaders would visit the Polavaram project site soon.
