There were allegations of a possible secret nexus between YSR Congress and TRS for a long time. Jagan and KCR never seriously criticized each other before the state bifurcation and after the elections, many would remember that famous press meet of KCR in which he predicted Jagan’s win in Seemandhra. YSR Congress failed miserably in the elections of Telangana and shut its shop here.
TRS leaders who are strongly opposing Chandrababu’s proposed yatra never really tried to halt Sharmila’s Odarpu Yatra in the state. All this speaks volumes about the secret nexus between both the parties. And now all of a sudden, the party announced that it will be contesting the upcoming GHMC and Sanathnagar bi-election. The party is also gearing up to open an office in GHMC very soon.
This decision of YSR Congress can be seen as a move to divide the settlers’ votes as much as possible. In case of such vote split, obviously the ruling party will get benefited. However it has to be seen how YSR Congress will fare in this election as it failed miserably in the general elections and is totally wiped out from the state with out a trace.
