Is Andhra Pradesh heading towards coalition politics of 2014 once again?
The HinduThe recent statement of Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan that he is open to forging alliances with all political parties to defeat his ‘prime and only political rival’ YSR Congress Party indicates that Andhra Pradesh may be heading for a repeat of the 2014 General and Assembly Elections. Political pundits say that the JSP and TDP leaders know that they do not have the firepower to fight the might of the YSRCP president and Chief Minister Y.S. Even after coming to power riding on the alliances, Mr. Naidu severed ties with the BJP over the issues pertaining to Special Category Status to Andhra Pradesh, a promise made on the eve of State bifurcation. Hoping to come back to power on his own, the TDP chief cut off ties with the JSP and projected Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a person against the development of Andhra Pradesh.
