Claiming that the changing political equations in Andhra Pradesh and the release of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu from prison on bail in the skill development scam case will not have any bearing on its prospects, the YSR Congress Patry (YSRCP) says that it is confident of its victory in the Assembly elections due in 2024.
The YSRCP feels that the TDP-JSP combine would not be able to make a dent on its vote share. More so, it is of the view that the minority votes will consolidate in its favour if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) joins the TDP-JSP combine.
“The arrest of Mr. Naidu has sent a message to the people that he is no holy cow. His arrest and release from prison will not have any bearing on our prospects. The YSRCP will get at least 60% of votes in the 2024 elections. In pockets where the TDP is strong, the sympathy factor might work in their favour. But overall, the YSRCP has positive prospects across the State,” YSRCP State general secretary Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy told The Hindu on November 22 (Wednesday).
