Nara Lokesh visited Delhi nearly 10 days ago to meet BJP leaders as part of the process of securing their support for the upcoming elections in Andhra Pradesh.
It seems he raised a point, emphasizing that the BJP operates on Hindutva ideology, while in AP, Jagan Mohan Reddy leads a Christian-led government.
Lokesh attempted to persuade the BJP power center, suggesting that Hindus in AP are being suppressed.
Therefore, aligning with the Hindu-sympathizing party TDP would be a more suitable option for the BJP, rather than supporting YCP, even without an official alliance, as per sources.
In response, BJP leaders sent a message stating that they have reservations about two individuals in the political landscape of India - Nitish Kumar and Chandrababu Naidu - as they are deemed unpredictable and could potentially betray their loyalty.
For this reason, they cannot entertain any request to form an alliance with Chandrababu Naidu indefinitely.
Many in political circles see this as a significant setback for the present TDP, yet the lobbying for BJP's support continues unabated.
