With just two months left for elections in Andhra Pradesh, February and March are likely to witness hectic electioneering and campaigns by political parties in the state. With TDP Chief N. Chandrababu Naidu planning a mega anti-BJP allies’ meeting in Amaravati on February 13th, the schedule of TRS Chief K. Chandrasekhara Rao’s visit to Andhra Pradesh is likely to clash with the timing of the Opposition’s rally.
According to sources, KCR will be visiting YSR Congress Chief Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy’s newly constructed house in Tadepally on February 14th. However, this meeting is likely to generate a lot of interest as it will decide the fate of TRS-YSRCP partnership in the upcoming Assembly elections. This will also be KCR’s “return gift” to AP Chief Minister.
On the other hand, the anti-BJP parties’ meeting is scheduled a day before KCR’s visit. The meeting of the anti-BJP front is likely to put nation’s focus on Andhra Pradesh politics. The house-warming ceremony of Jagan’s house is on February 14th. “So, KCR will attend it and have a meeting with Jagan in AP,” inside sources said. While their meeting might not have much at stake, it will surely send a signal to other political rivals in the state, believes TRS High Command.
February is likely to be a politically active month in Andhra Pradesh. Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is likely to visit AP in February, ahead of the Lok Sabha and AP assembly elections. Political observers say that KCR has planned his meeting a day after Opposition’s meeting to understand its effect on AP’s electorate. A clever politician that KCR is, he will try to understand the mood of the people and only then visit when the sentiment is neutral. Therefore, political observers predict that his visit might not be immediately scheduled after the anti-BJP Front’s grand meeting.
