Even as the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Jana Sena Party (JSP) have announced a formal alliance for the 2024 elections in Andhra Pradesh, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) appears to have its “own plans” .
According to party sources, the BJP has set a goal to improve its vote share. The party is understood to have decided to focus on about five Lok Sabha and 25 Assembly constituencies in the State, irrespective of alliances if there will be any.
The BJP has identified 10 Lok Sabha constituencies where it has “considerable strength and support”. The list includes Visakhapatnam, Araku, Kakinada, Rajampet, Tirupati, Naraspur, Anakapalli, Rajamahendravaram, Kurnool, and Hindupur. Of this, the focus would be on Visakhapatnam, Araku, Kakinada, Rajampet and Tirupati.
