Will the attack by alleged YSRCP supporters on senior BJP leader Satyakumar's car change the equations between the BJP and the YSRCP? Many political watchers believe that the attack on Satyakumar could have the same effect as the TDP attack on Union Home Minister Amit Sha during Chandrababu rule.
Satyakumar's car was attacked while he was on his way to express solidarity with the Amaravati farmers. The BJP has taken this quite seriously and called for state-wide protests. Even Bandi Sanjay, the chief of the BJP in neighbouring Telangana responded and slammed the YSRCP for the attack. Jana Sena chief, who has largely remained silent all these days, too has slammed the attack.
Satyakumar, who was for former personal secretary to former vice-president M Venkaiah Naidu, is quite influential in the BJP and has close relations with Amit Shah. This attack therefore would not be taken kindly by the BJP national leadership, argue some political analysts. The party leadership is likely to react on this attack, they say.
Meanwhile, the TDP too wants to take advantage of this incident and try to alter the political equations in Andhra Pradesh. Till now, the national leadership of the BJP has cordial relations with the YSRCP. The Jagan-Modi bonhomie is said to be the biggest hindrance to forming a BJP-TDP-Jana Sena coalition. The TDP hopes that this attack will help bring the BJP closer to it.
