BJP Gives up TDP and Embrace Pawan to Announce Special Status?

Andhra Pradesh's special category status issue has now turned as a burning topic at national level. And thanks to all political parties and NGOs who have taken the momentum to next level with various reasons. 

Although all political parties of AP have been agitating for SCS for the past four years, the ruling TDP hadn't joined their protests. Finally, TDP took a U turn recently and has been fighting for SCS for a few days. At this framework, the party recently quit NDA too.

According to a source close to BJP's top leader, BJP really wanted to announce special category status to AP. However, with their dismay, every welfare scheme announced by the party had been adopted and owned by TDP and started promoting that the scheme was implemented by TDP government only. The party's caste based media too helped in TDP's game plan. 

The BJP government supplied one crore LED lights for all rural and urban areas of AP under 'Saubhagya' scheme. The TDP succeeded in promoting that the programme was initiated by them. Similarly, TDP turned adamant to takeover, union government's Polarvaram project. Mischef-mongers alleged that thousands of crores of corruption was crept in the project's construction after the project was taken over by TDP. Had BJP, itself, taken up the project's completion responsibility, hardly would there have been any corruption in the project. 

As TDP conveniently takes over every welfare scheme of BJP, the latter suspected if special category status credit would also be owned by TDP. Moreover, the party felt TDP's leaders grew arrogance in ruling. Resultantly, BJP turned down TDP's SCS demand. 

With the reports available, BJP sticks to give SCS to AP state. But then, the party wants to avail maximum benefit of this favour to AP.. In order to get its strategy implemented, the party wishes to ally with either Pawan Kalyan or YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. Especially, BJP is of the opinion that Pawan Kalyan is Mr clean with no blot on any sort of corruption against him. Moreover, he has a huge vote bank in the form of fans from various castes and religions including his own caste. Even if SCS  is announced after having discussions with Power Star, both BJP and Janasena can mutually be benefited.
