Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister of N. Chandrababu Naidu has dropped enough hints that his party is keen on forging an alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the 2024 general elections.
In an informal interaction with the media persons in New Delhi on August 29 (Tuesday), Mr. Naidu said that the TDP had to differ with the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government earlier only on the issue of Special Category Status (SCS) for Andhra Pradesh.
The TDP had to honour the sentiments of the people. The TDP had to walk out of the NDA in the interests of the State, he said. “Except for the lone issue, the TDP has no differences of opinion with the BJP in other aspects. The TDP is not against the BJP or the NDA. The support of the Union government is required to develop the State,” Mr. Naidu observed.
