YSRCP got Chandrababu arrested, but why is TDP angry with BJP?

There is sharp anger against the BJP within the TDP circles in Andhra Pradesh these days. The TDP leaders and cadres are unhappy that the BJP chose to remain a silent spectator at Chandrababu’s prison predicament. The party cadres feel that the BJP is watching the sordid spectacle of the tallest leader from the TDP put behind bars.

The TDP strongly believes that Jagan could not have gone ahead with the arrest of Chandrababu without the tacit support from the BJP. They also feel that the whole arrest drama has unfolded based on the route-map provided by both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

The TDP feels that the YSRCP is planning to keep Chandrababu Naidu in prison on some pretext or the other till the time of elections so that the TDP would become leaderless and rudderless. A leaderless TDP could easily be routed in the upcoming elections, they feel. They argue that Jagan has drawn a well-laid out plan to keep Chandrababu in shackles till the announcement of elections.

The TDP cadres and leaders are asking as to why the BJP is so vengeful even when Chandrababu Naidu has literally prostrated before Modi and Shah. He has gone out of the way to placate them and has supported the BJP on several issues including the election of President Draupadi Murmu. They feel that the BJP is hand-in-glove with the YSRCP in incarcerating Chandrababu Naidu.
