The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) apprehends little threat of a wave of public sympathy arising in favour of the TDP after its national president N. Chandrababu Naidu was imprisoned over an alleged scam, and on the contrary, is hopeful of achieving a ‘positive vote’ in the forthcoming elections.
Never before in the history of the State has a ruling party enjoyed a positive vote. For the first time, the YSRCP will retain power with at least 60% vote share, say ruling party leaders, firmly dismissing speculation that the alliance between the TDP and JSP will dent the YSRCP’s prospects of victory.
“Contesting the elections alone has been the policy of the party from the beginning. There is no change in that. The party will contest the 2024 elections individually,” the party’s national general secretary V. Vijaya Sai Reddy says.
