Chandrababu Naidu informed BJP leaders that there is no possibility of allocating Lok Sabha seats to Sujana Chaudhary and CM Ramesh, according to sources.
"He made it clear that they stand no chance of winning direct elections," the sources reveal.
Sujana Chaudhary made attempts for the Vijayawada seat, and C M Ramesh for the Visakha seat, but due to opposition within Telugu Desam and Lokesh's disapproval, neither the BJP nor Telugu Desam are inclined to offer them seats.
As a result, they plan to aim for Rajya Sabha seats next year, provided Telugu Desam comes to power.
Former MP Lagadapati Rajagopal, currently in Delhi and closely observing politics, believes that the Telugu Desam will suffer losses if it allies with the BJP.
Contrarily, Rajya Sabha member GVL, who insists that a BJP-TDP alliance is inevitable, is vigorously pursuing the Visakha town seat. However, Chandrababu Naidu has stated that he will only consider Bharat, Balakrishna's son-in-law, for the seat.
