BJP’s “6+2” Andhra Ballot Plan With Chandrababu Naidu, Pawan Kalyan

A possible alliance might see the BJP contesting six Lok Sabha seats.

New Delhi:

Telugu Desam Celebration (TDP) president N Chandrababu Naidu and Jana Sena Celebration (JSP) chief Pawan Kalyan held discussions with Dwelling Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi, amid buzz of a strategic alliance between the three events within the upcoming Lok Sabha and Meeting elections in Andhra Pradesh.

The TDP, as soon as an integral a part of the BJP-led Nationwide Democratic Alliance (NDA) till 2018, is now exploring the prospect of rekindling the alliance. The talks, held in New Delhi, targeted on resolving key points surrounding seat distribution, with each events expressing a willingness to collaborate, pending an official announcement anticipated within the subsequent day or two.

In keeping with sources, the first dialogue revolved round seat-sharing preparations. A possible alliance might see the BJP contesting six Lok Sabha seats, with the JSP led by Pawan Kalyan contesting two and the TDP holding the remaining 17 Lok Sabha seats. Out of the 175 Meeting seats in Andhra Pradesh, the BJP and the JSP have reportedly agreed to contest 30 parliamentary constituencies, however the former is asking for extra. The TDP in the meantime has made it clear that it’ll contest alone on 145 seats.

The BJP’s eager curiosity in securing key constituencies, together with Vizag, Vijayawada, Araku, Rajampet, Rajahmundry, Tirupati, and an extra location, stays a sticking level within the negotiations. 

The BJP’s formidable purpose of profitable 370 seats within the upcoming Lok Sabha polls has spurred efforts to develop the NDA, contemplating alliances with regional events essential for attaining success. Other than Andhra Pradesh, the BJP can also be mulling a ballot pact with the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) led by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik in Odisha.
