Telugu Desam, BJP May Explore Electoral Alliance in Andhra Pradesh

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: The Telugu Desam and the Bharatiya Janata Party are likely to start talks on forging an electoral alliance in Andhra Pradesh, making it a three-party front, along with Jana Sena, against the YSR Congress. According to reliable sources, Hindutva organisations including the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh were “deeply concerned” about “widespread religious conversions” in the state and had been looking out for a political solution as they strongly believed that the “institutions engaged in conversions have been drawing strength from the presence of YSR Congress government.” “It is hard to believe but coastal districts like Konaseema and Guntur have been witnessing large conversion into Islam, too,” sources in the Sangh Parivar told Deccan Chronicle. Incidentally, K. Kannababu, former minister and YSR Congress MLA from the coastal Kakinada, dismissing as a “factually incorrect campaign” that conversions had increased, also cited the construction of not less than 1,000 Rama temples in every constituency and large release of funds for main temples to showcase the Jagan Mohan Reddy government’s commitment to upkeep Hindu dharma. “Much before Naidu’s arrest, the BJP had broached the possibilities of an alliance with the TD but apparently wanted to wait till the Telangana polls are over,” Jana Sena political affairs committee chairman Nadendla Manohar said.
