The ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) will fight alone and will not go for any alliances in the 2024 elections, says the government adviser (Public Affairs) Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy.
In an exclusive interaction with The Hindu at his camp office here, Mr. Ramakrishna Reddy said that the party’s flagship welfare schemes (Navaratnalu) and social engineering, through which a sizeable number of BCs, SCs and STs and minorities were accommodated in the government, will ensure victory.
The DNA of the YSRCP is different and it does not include indirect fights, alliances and related strategies, says Mr. Ramakrishna Reddy. “Unlike the other parties, we believe in a straight fight. Given the straight forward nature of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, our party is not inclined towards forging any tie-up with any other party. Parties like the TDP have tie-ups as a necessary strategy to win polls which is not the case with us,” he adds.
