Is the TDP trying to implement a master plan to turn the tide and defeat the YSRCP in the 2024 elections? Is it putting in place a silent yet deadly plan to alter the demography in select constituencies by shifting voters from neighboring states? Yes, say those in the know.
Sources say that it is trying to implement a plan that it had implemented in 2014. In 2014, there were many voters whose names were included in both Telangana as well as Andhra Pradesh. There was some gap between the election in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Using this gap, the TDP reportedly transferred the voters from Telangana to Andhra and made them vote for the party. This has tilted scales in several closely-contested constituencies.
The TDP wants to do the same thing this time too. It is everybody's knowledge that there are several diehard TDP supporters in Telangana. While TDP is as good as dead and their votes mean nothing in Telangana. But, they could be used as a potent force in up to 25 assembly constituencies in Andhra Pradesh. The assembly elections in Telangana would be held in 2023, while the elections in AP would be held in 2024. There is going to be a good eight month gap.
In this gap, the voters could be enrolled in Andhra Pradesh using the address of their native villages. This would be done by canceling their votes in Telangana. So, this looks perfectly legal. Such mass enrolment of voters from Telangana in AP will tilt the scales in several constituencies. If Sources are to be believed, the TDP is reportedly setting up a mechanism for mass enrolment of pro-TDP voters from Telangana in Andhra Pradesh. Let's wait and see how things take shape.
