Andhra Pradesh BJP optimistic of allying with JS-TD for state assembly polls

Vijayawada: The AP unit of Bharatiya Janata Party is highly hopeful of resolving the stalemate over its alliance with Jana Sena and Telugu Desam in the upcoming Assembly and Parliamentary polls in Andhra Pradesh. This will be the first meeting of the state executive after BJP’s national leadership announced Daggubati Purandeswari as president of the AP unit. Purandeswari is planning to invite BJP national president J.P. Nadda and All India organising secretary B.L Santosh to the state-level meeting and seek their intervention on the issue of BJP’s alliance with JS and TD. Ever since Jana Sena president Pawan Kalyan announced his party’s alliance with Telugu Desam Party soon after meeting TD chief N. Chandrababu Naidu in Rajahmundry Central Prison, there has been widespread confusion within the BJP cadre on how the tripartite alliance would work out without any official announcement from the BJP top brass. Incidentally, Purandeswari and other senior AP leaders have been maintaining that the issue of BJP’s alliance with JS-TD combine is a subject matter of BJP national leadership.
