TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu has finally succeeded in obtaining support from the CPI and Jana Sena in the Graduate MLC election.
The CPI and Progressive Democratic Front will give their second priority votes to the TDP candidates in the three graduate MLC seats.
In turn, the TDP will give its second priority votes to the Progressive Democratic Force candidates in the graduate MLC seats and first priority votes in the teacher MLC seats.
The Jana Sena, which is said to be in an alliance with the BJP, has also withdrawn from the alliance and announced its support to the TDP in the graduate MLC seats.
The Jana Sena supporters will give their first priority votes to the TDP candidates in the three seats. Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan has said that his party will work to defeat the YSR Congress candidates, but he did not ask his supporters to vote for the BJP.
This indicates that Chandrababu Naidu has secured the support of the CPI and Jana Sena in the MLC elections.
This also means that Chandrababu Naidu will continue the alliance for the general election, as the Left parties and Jana Sena are keen on having an alliance with the TDP for a few seats in their account.
The MLC elections also indicate the breakup of the BJP and Jana Sena alliance as speculated.
