YSRCP's big dilemma: What if Jana Sena, TDP form an alliance?

Update: 2022-10-31 06:05 GMT
What does Jana Sena-TDP alliance  mean to the ruling YSRCP in north coastal Andhra? Analysts say that if Jana Sena and the TDP come together, the YSRCP dominance in the region would be threatened. They say that the YSRCP will be in danger if there is an alliance in the region. They cite the 2019 election results to support their argument.

The TDP is quite strong in North Andhra and it managed to notch up some key victories in North Andhra even in the YSRCP tsunami of 2019. The analysis of the 2019 results show that the Jana Sena had played a key role in the victory of the YSRCP. In fact, in several constituencies, the number of votes polled by the Jana Sena is more than the victory margin.

For instance,  Dharmana Prasada Rao has won over the TDP by a margin of 5777 votes. But, the Jana Sena polled 7557 votes. Had there been no Jana Sena, the result would have been different. Ditto with Gudivada Amarnath. His victory margin is less than the votes polled by the Jana Sena. Avanti Srinivas won by a majority of 9917 votes, while the Jana Sena polled 24248 votes.

In three constituencies, however, the YSRCP victory margin was much more than the TDP and Jana Sena votes put together. Thus a TDP-Janasena alliance would profoundly alter the results in the North Andhra region. Hence, the YSRCP is now mulling on preparing a strategy for the 2024 elections, where both the TDP and the Jana Sena could come together.
