The 2024 elections hold immense significance for both the ruling and opposition parties in Andhra Pradesh.
The Telugu Desam Party views this election as a pivotal moment and is keen on seizing every available opportunity.
A crucial matter for the TDP is the possibility of forming an alliance with the Jana Sena party, led by Pawan Kalyan.
The long standing unannounced allaince between CBN and Pawan Kalyan is now in the middle of no where.
Long ago Pawan Kalyan has declared his intention to unite the anti-government vote and lead the charge against the ruling party. This has fueled speculation that an alliance between TDP, Jana Sena, and the BJP was in the works.
However, the BJP has not extended an invitation to the TDP for a recent meeting of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) allies, raising doubts about the alliance's formation.
The situation has sparked discussions about whether the BJP and Jana Sena will proceed with an alliance, sidelining the TDP altogether. Such a scenario could potentially lead to the victory of the YCP in AP.
There are concerns among TDP circles about placing excessive trust in Pawan Kalyan, given the perception that he may not be entirely dependable.
The focus on Pawan Kalyan has raised questions about whether it is wise to prioritize him solely based on the belief that he can counter Chief Minister YS Jagan effectively.
The TDP's leadership appears to be anxious about the impact of giving undue attention to Pawan Kalyan, possibly causing political harm to the party.
The primary opposition party, TDP, fears that if they fail to secure an alliance with Pawan, the attention and coverage he receives may come at the cost of the TDP's electoral defeat.
However, forming an alliance with Pawan remains uncertain, as he insists on receiving honorable seat allocations from TDP and may not settle for fewer than 50 seats.
Given the uncertainty surrounding Pawan Kalyan's behavior with changed circumstances, reports suggest that the TDP is reconsidering the idea of heavily relying on him.
TDP leaders feel that supporting the Jana Sena by pro-TDP media will be detrimental to the yellow brigade itself.
So, there are chances of cutting down the coverage for Pawan Kalyan shortly.
