Is This Why Kiran Kumar Reddy Joined BJP?

The BJP is unable to crack Andhra Pradesh politics. There is no change in its growth in the party in the state. AP became a tough arena for the saffron party which even cracked the northeastern states. The charisma of Atal Bihari Vajpayee in the past or the image of Narendra Modi now is not helping the party.
The BJP is just a namesake party in Andhra Pradesh and it is unable to spread its wings. Despite being a national party, BJP is unable to grow in Andhra Pradesh. It is also said that Pawan Kalyan is in plans to stay away from the BJP.
Pawan Kalyan likely wants the 2014 alliance-like situation to continue ties as per the reports. During his recent Delhi visit, Pawan Kalyan reportedly said the same to the Delhi leaders. Pawan Kalyan wants to bring everyone together to take on the YSRCP.
However, the Delhi leaders did not say yes to the proposal. There is no political space in AP. BJP is looking for that space. The two-party system is continuing in the state. It is either YCP or TDP. The BJP leaders feel that there will be no political vacuum in the state if TDP wins.
So they are trying to crush the Telugu Desam Party. The BJP-mark politics is that it is not bothered even if YCP wins in 2024 because the TDP would become even weaker if it loses the next elections. BJP can bank on that.
But the majority of BJP leaders have no such ideas. They want to come to power by allying and winning some seats. Limited leaders are saying yes to the ideas of central leaders. Many leaders are looking at former Chief Minister Nallari Kiran Kumar Reddy.
Everyone knows that his joining would not help the party. He doesn't even have strength in his own constituency Pileru. No one knows how he can help the party. But Kiran can do one thing and the Delhi leaders are happy with this. He can deal with the alliance with Telugu Desam Party. He can likely set 10 to 12 Assembly seats or three to four MP seats.
Many say that he has a vested interest in this. His brother Nallari Kishore Kumar Reddy is contesting as a TDP candidate from Pileru. If he can make his brother win from there, then he can be the Cabinet Minister. He can also win from Rajampet if the alliance is formed. If BJP comes to power at the centre then he can also become the Union Minister.
On the other hand, he has issues with Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy in the Chittoor district. It is also said that Kiran wants to give a return gift to Jagan as he earlier caused issues for him by starting the YSRCP.
Many say that Kiran Kumar Reddy's issues with Chandrababu Naidu turned into friendship after he became the Chief Minister and this helped him to stay in the Chief Minister post for three years. So they both have a close friendship.
Kiran Kumar Reddy is said to be thinking of benefiting BJP and becoming the Union Minister and making his brother a Minister. His political future is dependent on whether he can guide the BJP leaders towards the alliance with Telugu Desam Party.
