There has been some speculation of late that Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu might consider becoming a part of the 'Third Front'.
Emboldened by the Bihar victory, Lalu Yadav and Nitish Kumar are now keen on reviving the ‘Third Front’ against the BJP in particular. There is absolutely no way that Chandrababu is going to ditch the NDA. Rather, there is no way he can ditch the NDA.
If he were to do that then he might find himself slapped with hundreds of legal cases and charges regarding his dream project ‘Amaravathi’. Only an absolutely honest person can do what he feels to be the right thing.
Going by the general perception that Naidu and his coterie are resorting to massive and unprecedented corruption in the name of Amaravathi, the natural assumption is that Naidu cannot afford to irk the Center until his work in Amaravathi is over. Not to mention winding up the ‘cash-for-vote’ and other cases pending against him.
