TDP, BJP laying mind games with Kapus?

Update: 2023-03-08 09:41 GMT
Kapu biggie Kanna Laxminarayana sends feelers that he would join hands with the Jana Sena, but ends up joining the Telugu Desam. Kapu icon Vangaveeti Radha meets Nara Lokesh, who is on a padayatra. One by one, the Kapu leaders, who should be in the Jana Sena are veering towards the TDP. Why is the TDP under-cutting the Jana Sena and is luring the Kapu leaders into its fold?

If highly placed sources are to be believed, TDP wants to weaken the Jana Sena and thus force it into submission. This will make the Jana Sena willy nilly join the TDP alliance. The TDP is unnerved by the BJP's talk of Kapu as the next chief minister. It feels that by bringing forth the proposal, it wants to keep the Jana Sena in the NDA fold and thus weaken the TDP.

Hence, the TDP is said to be focusing on the Kapu leaders from both the TDP and the Jana Sena. The TDP feels that the BJP is playing mind-games and is keeping non-YSRCP parties on tenterhooks. By bringing forth the slogan of Kapu as the CM, it wants to undercut the TDP chances, which will invariably have a Kamma CM.

The TDP feels that the BJP will play this mind game till the 2024 elections. It would then take a call on whether to contest in alliance with the Jana Sena or join hands with the TDP. The TDP strongly feels that the BJP of today is not the BJP of the Vajpayee-Advani era. It feels that despite its lack of strength and support base, it wants to keep its interest paramount.
