Water Resources Minister Ambati Rambabu has alleged that the caste associations owing their allegiance to the TDP and its national president N. Chandrababu Naidu have worked for the defeat of the Jana Sena Party (JSP) in the eight seats it contested for in the Telangana Assembly elections, and extended tacit support to the Congress party.
Addressing the media here on Friday, Mr. Rambabu said JSP chief Pawan Kalyan was the only leader who consoled Mr. Naidu in the Rajamahendravaram Central Prison, where he was lodged in the skill development scam case, and expressed solidarity with him, and went to the extent of announcing his party’s alliance with the TDP after coming out.
But the caste associations did not throw their weight behind the JSP in Telangana. They rather sabotaged the chances of the JSP’s victory in the eight seats offered to it by the BJP.
