Andhra Pradesh politics is engulfed in a frenzy ahead of the general elections. TDP leader and former Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu finds himself in a state of deep confusion, particularly regarding an alliance with the BJP.
The decision seems indecisive, and they are unable to come to a conclusion. Meanwhile, there is a prevailing notion that the people of the state are angered by what they perceive as injustice by the Modi government towards Andhra Pradesh.
They believe that if TDP allies with the BJP, they will surely lose the power to Jagan. Yellow media leaders are cautioning Chandrababu about this.
In the context of the 2019 elections, certain sections of the TDP expressed their displeasure, stating that Chandrababu was similarly intimidated and estranged from an yellow media chief by the BJP.
Presently, it is reported that Chandrababu's supporters are warning him not to repeat history and to stick with the BJP. However, Chandrababu is finding it difficult to make a decision.
On one hand, yellow media points out that the Modi government at the center has been providing substantial financial assistance to the Jagan government, questioning how a party that has done so much for their rivals could be trusted to benefit the TDP.
Recently, anti-BJP sentiments have been growing across the country, and Modi's popularity seems to be waning day by day as per them.
The yellow media leaders are stressing on this. Under these circumstances, Chandrababu is being pressured to distance himself from the BJP, which only adds to his confusion.
If Chandrababu decides to stay away from the BJP, concerns arise that central investigation agencies and other entities may create trouble for him. Chandrababu is contemplating this aspect as well.
Despite meeting with Amit Shah and Nadda, there are fears among yellow media that the alliance with the BJP might suffer.
The coming days will reveal Babu's final decision and how it shapes the political landscape.
