TDP Begins Wooing Jana Sena?
X
Is the TDP now beginning to feel that there is an urgent need to join hands with the Jana Sena? Is it planning to bring a divide between the Jana Sena and the BJP and bring Jana Sena into its fold? Those keeping a tab feel it is likely that the TDP might woo Jana Sena ahead of Tirupati elections.

The TDP thinking heads feel that had the TDP and Jana Sena fought the elections in an alliance, it could have benefited the TDP significantly. These leaders are citing panchayat elections, where the TDP has transferred its votes to the Jana Sena in several places and helped the latter defeat YSRCP candidates. They also feel that in Vizag, the combined votes of TDP and Jana Sena were more than the votes that the YSRCP had got. In Vizag, while the YSRCP got 4.64 lakh votes, while the TDP and Jana Sena got 3.87 lakh votes and 82000 votes respectively. Combined, the votes of Janasena and TDP are more than the YSRCP votes. So, a section of the TDP has suggested that there should be an alliance between the two parties in the Tirupati bypolls.

However, except Vizag, the YSRCP performance has been very good. Even the combined votes of the TDP, BJP and Jana Sena weren't enough to defeat it. Yet, the TDP is now feeling that there should be some understanding between the TDP and the Jana Sena for the Tirupati bypolls.
