According to sources both YSRCP and Jana Sena are not on good terms with the Congress or TDP in Andhra Pradesh. So, YSRCP and Jana Sena cannot support either of the parties in Telangana. Meanwhile this is the reason they are likely to give a call to Telangana voters to defeat the Grand Alliance, sources in the two parties revealed.
As per report, neither the YSRCP nor the Jana Sena will contest the Telangana elections and the YSRCP has a good number of supporters in Telangana, especially among AP-origin voters, thanks to the implementation of several welfare schemes by the then Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy. A source said "As Jagan Mohan Reddy is focusing entirely on AP, his party may not contest in Telangana and if the party fails to win any seat here, it will have an adverse impact on the AP Assembly elections”. Even though there is demand for YSRCP ticket for around 20 Assembly seats in Telangana, the party may not field its candidates.
Reports added Jana Sena leaders are keen to contest 20 to 22 Assembly seats in Telangana. Meanwhile party general secretary Madasu Gangadharam said "Jana Sena president Pawan Kalyan has not taken any decision so far on contesting Telangana Assembly elections or not and the party may discuss the matter and announce its decision in a couple of days".
