The Jana Sena Party’s (JSP) decision to forge an alliance with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has essentially come as a bolt from the blue to the BJP, as it has been under the impression that its partnership with the JSP is not only intact but also flourishing all these years.
While expressing his resolve to join the TDP in the fight against the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), JSP chief Pawan Kalyan has sounded optimistic that the BJP will eventually join the newly-formed political front.
The BJP is, for the time being, treading cautiously about Mr. Pawan Kalyan’s announcement. This is evident from a statement by its media wing, which has said that the party’s Central leadership will chart its future course on alliances, and that the JSP-BJP alliance is continuing.
