The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has finalized its candidates for six key constituencies in Andhra Pradesh for the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Under an alliance with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Jana Sena Party (JSP), the BJP hopes to secure victories in constituencies such as Araku, Anakapalli, and Narasapuram. However, the party is predicted to face challenges in other seats, despite the support of the TDP and JSP. These alliances have become crucial in the state, where regional parties hold significant sway and are vital for victory.
Alla Ramakrishna Reddy, who previously quit YSRCP, has rejoined the party in the presence of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. Ramakrishna Reddy, a former TDP general secretary, expressed his confidence in Jagan's leadership and vowed to bring victory to the party in the upcoming Andhra Pradesh elections. His sudden return to YSRCP comes after speculation that he may join Congress under YS Sharmila's leadership, and the party promising him key responsibilities in the constituency.
