In a shocking turn, YCP groups are now doubting if their party can hold at least the 'opposition party' status in the Assembly.
To attain this status, the party needs 18 seats, and now the lead is only 20-21, which may shift by the end.
Even if YCP scores more than 18 seats, there is another significant concern that there could be many defections from the winning YCP candidates to the NDA side, putting YCP's position at complete risk.
Narendra Modi openly stated in his meetings and a TV interview that he was confident YCP would not make a comeback in Andhra Pradesh, which has proven true, though many didnt believe.
Now, even holding the 'opposition party' status is in doubt for YCP.
