The so called dreams of BJP to go alone or emerge as a force to reckonwith is coming to naught with some of the meek decisions which isbeing taken by the BJP top brass. This has more or less put a lid overspecu7altions regarding the breakup of TDP—BJP alliance in AP for now.
Nirmala Seetharaman is expected
While there are many from AP Congress who wish to sail with BJP and take on TDP and become an independent force, BJP leadership is unable to leverage the advantage. Hence instead of appointing any other powerful leader, very soon BJP MP from AP Nirmala Seetharaman is expected to be the face of BJP in AP.
TDP boss Chandrababu can breathe easy
She may not be replacing current AP chief of BJP, Hari Babu but she may be replacing the charisma of Venkaiah Naidu who has been the BJP brand ambassador and also a sort of father figure for Telugu states.TDP boss Chandrababu can breathe easy with this news for all rightreasons.
BJP will not even touch Babu
With Nirmala at the helm who was elected with TDP support, no onewould question any decision of Babu from BJP in Andhra and at the same time he has anyway kept her in good humor by appointing her husband Parakala Prabahkar in a key position right from beginning. So threat of independent and fierce BJP will not even touch Babu anytime soon.
