In alliance talks, BJP seeks six Lok Sabha seats, 20 Assembly seats from TDP

The Hindu  

Alliance negotiations between the Telugu Desam Party and Bharatiya Janata Party are at an advanced stage ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha and State Assembly polls, as the Andhra Pradesh party makes its way back to the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance. According to BJP sources, the ruling party has demanded six Lok Sabha seats in the State, along with 20 Assembly seats, while Pawan Kalyan’s Jan Sena Party wants three Lok Sabha seats. Out of 25 Lok Sabha seats in Andhra Pradesh, the TDP had kept 21 seats for itself, of which it won 15, and offered four to the BJP, which won two. The BJP’s poor performance in 2019 in both the Assembly and Lok Sabha elections has added to the TDP’s scepticism.
