BJP should contest alone and see how they would fare. They were a big ZERO all over AP <3%

Let us hold our souls in patience, and wait for official information, Ramana-ji. I would not put it past Chinmay (whose tweets were quoted by RajeshA-ji) to use Jaitley's name for the deal he wants the BJP to strike.

TDP should quickly dump BJP and Chicken Reddy and go to CPI/CPM as CPI/Chicken Narayana is already cutting deal with Congress. TDP needs to secure its winnable districts where left also matters in Telangana. Their dilly-dalling with TRS costed them dearly in 2009. TRS got close to 40-50% but won only 10 seats selling rest to Congress while being in alliance with TDP.

On JP from Malkajgiri. He may not run if there is no TDP support. He got strict warnings from voters not to play spoilsport to TDP. Those voters got assurance of protection from non-TRS/non-BJP leaders when TRS was abusing "settlers".

Elder Anam, Vivekananda Reddy, a comedian in politics, is critical of Jagan so they can't go to YCP. His younger brother is Finance minister who is mild and wanted to go with Congress even after bifurcation. Looks like it is not working out for him just as it is not working for Botsa, so they are looking for alternatives. Another Anam brother is already in TDP.

Last remaining Congressmen now are looking for alternatives. Not sure it is their own discretion or Congress is sending them. BJP and TDP should watch them as they may play spoilsport later.

Anam Ramanarayan Reddy is one of the more capable politicians left in Congress. AFAIK, he has no barbarian image around him either (unlike Botsa), correct? He is useful, I would say, and I should be delighted. But what I am worried about is that this will prompt the BJP to start making unreasonable demands on TDP and end up screwing the Alliance, particularly in SA.

Sigh. I always wanted BJP to grow in SA at the expense of the Congress. I still do (although Botsa makes me retch), and I am no great admirer of TDP as many folks on this site are. But the last thing I want is for the BJP-TDP break up to bring back Jagan. I will be delighted if the BJP-TDP work together this once, finish off the mafia pieces and then do whatever they want, as long as neither side bows to the EJs. Destroying Jagan and finishing the EJ Mafia should be the most important thing now. We will have a Congress mukt SA at least.

Malkajgiri seat has become an extremely high profile and one everyone wants it. Even after alliance with BJP, giving this seat to JP is a sacrilege in my view. It should be given to Revanth Reddy and he will get all kinds of votes. There are certain undercurrents regarding city seats and it is not the old MIM Vs BJP at least for this election. Follow @husler243 on Twitter. He writes only Telugu(transliterated) but a pucca TDP type. The proverbs, street language reminds my school days

. He writes pretty good about Chinmay types. Chinmay did some surveys for centerright and 543.com but I don't think he is any close to BJP quarters as he depicts himself.

The scary part of BJP is that it is difficult to gauge the national leaders' clue about AP ground realities. I hope they have better grounds-men. First of all TDP has its set of cronies. INC has double-shitty cronies and Jagan is filled with 1000% cronies. They are all trying to pull a fast one on BJP to settle their scores. The bigger cronies want to stop TDP at a distance and these are the ones showing off by news plants and also by meeting Modi. The agendas are multi-fold. They could go on behalf of Jagan and show off as though they are alone and are impressed by Modi. They meet Modi and comes back to a 1000 news channel Telugu industry with several interviews. They have made believe the Twitteratti that BJP in SA is some thousand pound gorilla and can take alone or even negotiate with Jagan.

The spin is that BJP this time has gone with rouges and has shown their places and hence why not with Jagan and later we can dump him (RealPolitK

). A lot of cronies will really like this if BJP does that but will Jagan dare to go pre-poll with Modi?

By the way, there is a real chance of Pappu standing from Medak.

However according to sources, the actual reason for Nagarjuna meeting Modi was to keep the Jagan Mohan Reddy issue alive who is looking for a post poll alliance with any party that would form a government at the centre.

Nagarjuna is known to be close to the Jagan Mohan Reddy family. During the 2009 elections, he had campaigned behind the scenes for his father Dr Y S Rajasekara Reddy. It was during that time that he grew close to Jagan. The YSR Congress party headed by Jagan has not spoken publicly about any alliance. However Jagan had long back sent feelers to the BJP, but then it was decided that they would wait until the elections are over. However with the TDP and the BJP trying to finalise an alliance, Jagan felt that his issue should be kept alive and he indicated that he would support the BJP if it sought support to form the government at the centre. Sources say Nagarjuna carried this message to Modi.

The other reasons that are being cited are that Nagarjuna wanted a BJP ticket for his wife Amla apart from also safeguarding his business interests in Hyderabad. Nagarjuna had first met with Venkaiah Naidu who is said to have arranged for the meeting with Modi, sources say.

Sources also indicate that Mahesh Babu and Junior NTR are also likely to meet with Modi. Junior NTR is trying to position himself as the next big thing in the TDP as he feels that his oratory skills would prevail over Chandrababu Naidu who is more of a brain and not a vote getter. It was also rumoured that Junior NTR had fallen out with the TDP, but then he decided that he would campaign for the party. Mahesh Babu on the other hand has also decided to campaign for the TDP and he would try and meet with Modi in a bid to counter the Jagan move made by Nagarjuna, sources say.

Here is what I gathered from twitter. The deal will be done by Ugadi (Telugu new year on March 31st). It could be no more than 14/42. 9 in T and probably 5 in SA.

Internal TDP assessment is 17/111 in SA out of 25/175. In TG their assessment is a three way split of 119 between TRS, INC and TDP. TDP is expecting 5/30 out of 17/119 for the TDP-BJP alliance.

Hope these guys get to work from this deal-saga.

Jagan seems to be really desperate on two accounts. (1) Modi-TDP deal and he wants this to not form (2) need a bailout from his cases. He is not getting any crowds except in some of his boroughs. For example, I have seen his sister's rally in Repalle (Krishna delta on the Guntur side). The security men are more than anyone on the road to listen to her. TDP emptied out every district in the perception game and they may have spent a tonne already.

I personally know both Anam Brothers and Ramnarayana Reddy is bigger rouge that Viveka. Is is in fact very over rated person as administrators. Anam family is famous for jumping parties. Their father was in Janata Party, TDP, Nadella Bhaskar Rao. They also hedge with each one in one party so that which every way the wind blows they will be in power. One of my friends is going to contest for MP seat for BJP if Nellore seat is going to be allotted to BJP.

By the way party defectors in AP called as "Jump Jilani"

BJP, Telugu Desam close to sealing deal: The Hindu

Both parties reportedly agree to soften their stand after Javadekar holds telephonic talk with a senior TDP leader
A day after Telugu Desam president N. Chandrababu Naidu’s tough posturing on the deadlock over stitching up an alliance with the BJP, some headway appears to have been made on seat-sharing. A deal could be sealed in next few days.

Senior BJP leader Prakash Javadekar reportedly had a telephonic conversation on Tuesday with a TDP leader and both sides showed willingness to climb down from their positions. “There is a little bit of softening from both the sides,” said BJP sources. Both the sides exchanged lists of constituencies and broadly identified the seats to be contested by each party.

Indications are that BJP might settle for 48 Assembly and nine Lok Sabha seats as against its strong demand for 64 Assembly and 11 Lok Sabha constituencies in Telangana and 18 Assembly (seven less than what it had sought) and five Lok Sabha seats in Seemandhra region.

Even while awaiting a formal electoral pact, cadres of both the parties went ahead with adjustments for the ZPTC and MPTC elections. A senior BJP leader rued that position of both the parties could have been “wonderful” had they arrived at an agreement much earlier.

Following differences within Telangana BJP leaders on having an alliance with TDP, the BJP central party deputed Mr. Javadekar to sort out the issue. Although he held a few rounds of discussions with Telangana BJP leaders and senior RSS functionaries from the region last week, not much progress was achieved as some Telangana BJP leaders insisted that TDP should concede larger chunk of seats to BJP and remain a junior partner in the region.

It is learnt that they quoted recent surveys to show that BJP’s vote share in Telangana improved to 14-16 per cent, while that of TDP dipped to 7-8 per cent. They also informed Mr. Javadekar that TDP candidates lost deposit in 15 of the 18 by-elections held since 2010 in Telangana and 15 MLAs deserted the party in the last five years.

However, the argument that TDP has weakened in the region was countered by Mr. Chandrababu Naidu, who said TDP had an alliance with Left and TRS in 2009 and left 45 seats to TRS then. He wanted the BJP to go by past precedents in seat-sharing and mentioned how both the parties won 36 Lok Sabha seats in alliance in 1999.

The deal is very important not from a win/loss perspective but will stop the room for cronies-led-sabotage. The cronies will start from Jagan gangs to Reddy bros gangs and what not. The rumor mills will start chinnamma connectivity all over again. The alliance may be fighting against formidable enemies of the nation but it is a historic necessity as they have to fight pappu as well because Amethi is not a safe seat anymore.

Nothing is black and white. TRS+INC could still happen as there is lot more time. As a reward of giving Telangana they may yield Medak for Pappu. In fact there is no need for him to choose Medak but that seat is good sales pitch because his Grandma won from that seat in the past.

TRS and INC are already in deal. It works the same way how they did and how INC and PRP did in 2009 - shout at each other openly and go to same bed at night.

News is INC and CPI have deal nationwide. They are also seat-sharing in AP with Khammam MP to be given to CPI. INC+CPI is some blow to TDP as voting % gets affected in Khammam, Nalgonda, and Warangal.

Both Jagan & KCR will be utter failures if they cannot get space in Central Govt. The divided states are too small to support their greed/ambitions and also fulfil the heaven-on-earth promises.

Atri ji, Devesh garu, paging you

This is the joke of the time but it is news article now. Comments please.

Asaduddin Owaisi vs Ram Gopal Verma contest likely for Hyderabad seat

HYDERABAD: On the advice of BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, the Uddav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena is working overtime to ensure that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is able to field a common candidate against MIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi for the Hyderabad Lok Sabha constituency seat in the coming polls.

"We are looking at expanding the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance beyond Maharashtra, and Andhra Pradesh is an obvious choice. With the main focus on the Hyderabad Lok Sabha seat, the Shiv Sena wants to fight the elections in the state as a junior partner of the BJP-led NDA," Dilip Tamal, Shiv Sena state coordinator for Andhra Pradesh, told TOI on Tuesday.

Tamal was in the city to announce the intention of the Shiv Sena wanting to contest a few seats in Telangana and may be a handful in the Seemandhra region.

But strangely, the Shiv Sena is zeroing in on film director Ram Gopal Verma to take on Asaduddin Owaisi. When asked about it, all Tamal could say was: "I can just say a well-known movie-maker would be our candidate. Please don't ask me for more." Of Seemandhra ancestry, Ram Gopal Verma was born and brought up in Hyderabad and can claim nativity of the state capital. "But will that help him or his opponent Owaisi in the polls remains the big question," said an analyst. The Hyderabad seat has remained a monopoly of the MIM ever since the Congress handed over the seat to the former in 1984.

'Sena strategy in two days'
According to Shiv Sena state president TN Murari, his party was in touch with BJP leader Gopinath Munde as the original idea of fielding a common candidate against Asaduddin came from Modi. Incidentally, the Owaisi brothers, Asaduddin and Akbaruddin, have in the past dared the Gujarat chief minister to visit Hyderabad but could not do anything when the Gujarat CM visited the state capital in August last year.

In 2004, the Shiv Sena had reportedly made attempts to field then firebrand Telangana leader Vijayashanti against Asaduddin but that it did not materialize in the end.

Ram Gopal Verma had met Modi during his visit to Hyderabad last August and also was among the first to tweet that Tollywood actor Pawan Kalyan was slated to meet Modi in Ahmedabad last week. Tamal said senior Shiv Sena leader Deepak Sawant was expected in Hyderabad in the next couple of days to make a formal announcement of the party strategy, including the alliance.

Apart from the Hyderabad Lok Sabha seat, the Shiv Sena is eyeing a few Assembly seats in the Maharashtra-AP border districts of Nizamabad and Adilabad where a large chunk of Marathi-speaking voters reside.

I believe he needs to remake an old movie like he did to Sholay and his own shiva

. This made my day.

1. Hard core TRS supporters will vote for TRS.
2. Congress lovers will vote for Congress.
3. Congress haters will want to vote for anyone other than in Congress, so if TRS and Congress aligned then these voters will vote for TDP and not for TRS.

So by positioning as anti-Congress, TRS will now get voters from #3 block as well. So after the elections TRS can align with Congress. This move is aimed to ensure TDP does not grow in Telangana state.

SwamyG saar,

I think thats the right logic. I also thought in the same manner. Now, the question is what is the percentage of trs supporters, kongi lovers, and kongi haters? I think there are very few of the lovers and more of the haters. Anyway, the love is fickle and transient while the hate is more strong and longer lasting(just the way the world seems to work

).

There is an anti-kongi wave and any kongi B that has some remote chance wants to stay away from the kongis, so as not to get washed away in the wave. They will go with the kongis if they think they are going to get washed away anyway. But, in this scheme, the kongis are the losers and their seat tally will come down further.

If this joker is such a serious he should have taken issues since PRP closed, atleast even when Congress ok'ed split last July. Just before elections they want to do AAP throught his guy.

Only BJP seems to be interested in these characters. BJP is taking these empty stones and putting in dabba and making dabba noise and claiming they want more seats than they are capable. TDP is not buying that dabba noise.

Nothing new here. This is same as PRP project in 2009. They did same with AAP. TRS has always been Congress project and INC effectively made BJP subordinate to TRS. Only BJP seem to be blind to this. Instead of aggressively stealing leaders and voters from INC and TRS *, they seem to cry on TDP and get 1-2 TDP leaders and make big noise.
