Will BJP gain or lose with T-Bill?

Even if BJP support the T-Bill in the Parliament, it will gain nothing in return for it in Telangana. TRS and Congress parties will claim entire credit for themselves and seek favor from people in the form of votes for their big achievement. At the most, BJP may get few more seats for its support to the bill and nothing else. Even, Narendra Modi factor or influence may not do any wonders for the party, especially in these upcoming elections due to strong Telangana sentiment.
So if BJP do not support the bill, then it has to pay very dearly for it in the elections. Telangana people may punish it for not supporting the T-Bill. Hence, it may even lose its existing MP and MLA seats. Moreover, its plans to have a poll alliance with TDP that is now opposing bifurcation also may drastically bring down its vote share.
However, for the same reasons it can expect a very good yield in Seemandhra region. Chandrababu and Narendra Modi influence may do wonders for both parties in Seemandhra. Their proven administrative abilities may give an edge for their parties over Congress and YSR Congress parties. Congress has gathered enough hatred against it from the people for dividing the state and for its failure in giving an efficient government.
YSRCP president Jagan Mohan Reddy also has several drawbacks. Firstly, he is carrying 10 CBI charge sheets against him. People may not want a Chief Minister with such a corrupt record. Moreover, he lacks any administrative experience. People may not afford to put the state in an inexperienced person’s hands in the prevailing situation, that need very careful and expert handling. Obviously, Chandrababu with exceptional track record may be the choice of the people. If, TDP gains, obviously BJP also will gains.
