AP elections in 2019 are keenly awaited by political circles all over the country. The reason for this is it has turned out to be almost like a one-to-one battle between PM Modi and CM Chandrababu Naidu. The TDP cadres are in a joyful mood now. There is news of intelligence reports that are submitted to the CM. The reports say that the ground level surveys have showed that the TDP will win 135 seats in the 175-member Assembly.
The reports indicated that the pensions and other welfare measures have totally changed villages altogether in rural areas. They are now unilaterally favouring Naidu’s leadership. The political scenario has undergone a dramatic change in the past few weeks. The beneficiaries of pensions and other schemes have almost passed resolutions to support TDP and bring back Chandrababu Naidu as CM again.
On the other hand, the bitter comments of Telangana leaders against TDP have hurt the feelings of AP people. There is a perception that YCP leader Jaganmohan Reddy is bringing outsiders especially Telangana leaders to AP. This has hurt the self-respect sentiment of AP voters ahead of elections.
