Fate of the BJP-TDP alliance

The Bharatiya Janata party which has announced its Lok Sabha candidates has also nominated 21 assembly segments on the last day of filing of nominations.
BJP which is in alliance with TDP for the Lok Sabha and Legislative Assembly elections in undivided Andhra Pradesh and as per the  seat sharing arrangement, BJP would field candidates in 47 assembly seats (out of 119) and eight Lok Sabha segments (out of 17) in Telangana.But there still seems to be some discontent with this alliance and it is said that Six district unit presidents in Telangana have submitted their resignations and the TDP cadre is protesting outside Chandrababu Naidu’s residence demanding that should not be a part of the alliance. In Telangana, the TDP realises that if it does not ally with the BJP, it won’t gain. If the BJP does not put up candidates in Telangana then the people won’t choose the TDP as an alternative. In Telangana, the BJP felt that it should have got more than 12 seats out of the 17 in the Lok Sabha segment, and had to settle for 8 seats as the TDP managed to convince the top leadership that they have a very strong cadre in the remaining 9 constituencies.The first list released on April shows :

Secunderabad           Bandaru. Dattatreya     Lok Sabha
Karimanagar              Ch. Vidyasagar Rao    Lok Sabha


Assembly


Nizamabad                  E. Lakshminarayana
Medak                         Chagendla Narendra Nath
Hyderabad                  Dr. Bhagawanth Rao
Mahaboobnagar         Nagam Janardhan Reddy
Bhongir-                       Indrasena Reddy
Warangal (SC)-           Dr. Ramagalla Parameswar

Now we have to wait for April 30 th to see what happens to this alliance which proved lucky for Mr Naidu last time.
