The grand old Telugu Desam Party is giving its best efforts to win the next general elections as it is a do-or-die situation for the opposition party. As a shot in the arm for the efforts, Telugu Desam Party saw a popular face joining the party. Party chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu welcomed the leader by presenting him with the party shawl.
Mahasena Rajesh, who works for the rights of Dalits (SCs & STs & Minorities) joined the party. At a meeting held in Samarlakota, Rajesh joined the party in the presence of the party chief. Political experts say that Rajesh joining the party would benefit it and can have an upper hand in Godavari districts.
The Minorities are in good population in Godavari districts and with Rajesh Mahasena joining the opposition party it would get an advantage. In the 2019 polls, TDP lost many seats in the region and it has the advantage to win them back.
It has to be mentioned here that, TDP almost swept the Godavari districts in the 2014 elections as Janasena was with it. But things changed upside down in 2019 and it lost the elections.
BCs and Scs are the strong vote bank of TDP and party founder NTR is credited for giving BCs to grow as a political power. A few cabinet ministers in BRS were once with the TDP.
But the Karamchedu Massacre made the Dalit community distance itself from the grand old party. After a long time, the TDP had an opportunity to attract the community again. Moreover, the YSRCP is facing allegations that the welfare schemes TDP started for the community were stopped by YCP.
Rajesh Mahasena earlier targeted Telugu Desam Party and Janasena through his videos on social media. But he decided to join the TDP. It is said that a few leaders opposed Rajesh's joining the party. But the party leadership gave its nod to Rajesh.
Earlier it was reported that Rajesh might join the Janasena. When everything was confirmed he changed his decision at the last minute. Reacting to this, Mega Brother Naga Babu said that it is Rajesh's decision to pick the party he likes and Janasainiks should not criticize the decision.
