Lok Satta and TDP alliance talks weird?
Lok Satta and TDP Alliance Talks Weird. In 2009 general elections, Lok Satta Party headed by Jaya Prakash Narayana sternly hollowed Telugu Desam Party’s chances of winning at many places.
Hyderabad: In 2009 general elections, Lok Satta Party headed by Jaya Prakash Narayana sternly hollowed Telugu Desam Party’s chances of winning at many places. The party received almost 10000 votes in most of the constituencies from where it has contested and spoiled the chances of victory of TDP. Nevertheless, those votes did not help Lok Satta either as the party managed to win just one seat. Realizing the facts that went wrong in the previous elections and in order to improve their chances of winning, Lok Satta has opened doors for alliances in the state. The party is seeking 20 Assembly seats and one Parliament seat.
However, the seats demanded by Lok Satta are strong suit of TDP. They are eyeing seats with more educated and settler voters in Telangana region. If TDP allots these seats to Lok Satta, their tally in Telangana will be very bare and it may lead to the bereavement of the party in Telangana as well. Lok Satta reportedly gave 34 seats list to TDP and is asking them to choose any 20 for them. TDP leaders are not at all in favour giving these many seats. They say Lok Satta is on respirator and it is difficult for the party to triumph even one seat this time.
