Welcoming the announcement of the Jana Sena Party (JSP) to forge an alliance with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) to jointly fight against the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) in Andhra Pradesh, Communist Party of India (CPI) State secretary K. Ramakrishna has suggested that the two opposition parties focus their attention also on bringing together all the like-minded parties to defeat the “undemocratic Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)“ and the “autocratic YSRCP” in the 2024 elections.
Addressing the media here on September 16 (Saturday), Mr. Ramakrishna said that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy was out on bail in a series of cases relating to serious economic offences only with the “blessings of the BJP at the Centre,” which allegedly misused the Central agencies, including the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and the Income Tax Department to subject the opposition party leaders to trouble selectively.
Both the BJP and YSRCP resorted to vindictive politics and denied political space for the opposition parties, he alleged.
