A section of the media is now speculating that TDP has a significant opportunity to re-enter Telangana and reestablish its political influence.
A popular daily has suggested that with the BJP gaining strength in Telangana, the TDP-BJP alliance, along with Jana Sena, could make a strong impact in the state’s political landscape.
However, the ground reality tells a different story.
Jana Sena’s disastrous performance in the 2023 Telangana elections—where it ended up in 4th and 5th place in many constituencies, performing worse than independent candidates—raises serious doubts about its role as a game-changer in the region.
If the TDP-BJP alliance takes this advice seriously and aggressively enters Telangana politics, it could backfire badly.
The resurgence of Telangana sentiment could lead to a strong backlash, ultimately benefiting BRS.
In such a scenario, BJP might suffer heavily, as alliance politics could weaken its independent growth in the state.
Many believe that BJP should focus on strengthening itself alone rather than getting caught in the complexities of alliances.
The core motive behind TDP’s and its allied media’s push against BRS in Telangana and Jagan Mohan Reddy in Andhra Pradesh seems to be real estate-driven.
If KCR returns to power in Telangana, it could deal a huge blow to Amaravati’s real estate market, as KCR and KTR are known for boosting Hyderabad’s real estate sector.
Similarly, if Jagan Mohan Reddy comes back to power in Andhra Pradesh, TDP supporters fear that nothing positive will happen for Amaravati’s development, leading to a further decline in its real estate prospects.
