BJP conditions a big headache for CBN.The debate over whether the TDP alliance with BJP is advantageous or challenging has ignited a fervent discussion within Andhra Pradesh politics. Opponents argue that if the BJP is not enthusiastic about the alliance, it suggests that the TDP has pursued it unilaterally. While there hasn't been an explicit statement from the BJP to this effect, remarks by BJP National President JP Nadda hint at TDP's independent initiative in forming the alliance. Nadda's statement implies an invitation extended to TDP and Janasena supporters to collaborate with the BJP, indicating a realization of past missteps and a recognition of BJP as the sole viable ally.

On the BJP's side, there are queries about their subdued stance following a meeting between Babu and Amit Shah the previous month. Babu's three-day visit to Delhi failed to solidify the alliance, prompting speculation about behind-the-scenes developments. Some suggest that the TDP-initiated alliance compelled BJP to secure six MP seats, akin to the BJP's approach in neighboring states like Odisha, where they actively pursue alliances.

The absence of overt media coverage or endorsement by Babu has raised suspicions about the terms and conditions of the alliance, with speculations that they might be more onerous than those with BJP. Additionally, there are concerns that BJP's strategies may overshadow TDP's interests in AP, potentially compromising TDP's electoral prospects.

Overall, the prevailing sentiment in political and media circles suggests that while the alliance with BJP may have been agreed upon, the details of the arrangement remain unclear. As such, the true implications and conditions of this alliance are eagerly awaited.
