The TDP-BJP-Jana Sena Party (JSP) alliance is of the fond hope that the anti-incumbency factor caused by “pure misgovernance” of the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), coupled with the magic of ‘brand Modi’, will secure a comfortable victory for it in the general elections.
“It is true that the BJP and TDP were allies in 2014. It was due to certain misunderstandings that we parted ways. But in the due course, the two parties sorted out those differences and have come back together for a cause, which is to bring curtains down on the YSRCP government,” observed Siddharth Nath Singh, former Uttar Pradesh Minister and A.P. BJP in-charge for elections.
In an exclusive interview with The Hindu here on April 5 (Friday), Mr. Singh recalled that the alliance with the TDP had started during the time of former Prime Minister A.B. Vajpayee, and they indeed had differences over a period of time, but then they buried the hatchet for the stated cause and became a larger group now, including the JSP.
