Tirupati:
Former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP and film actress Jaya Prada on Wednesday expressed her desire to “participate” in the upcoming elections in Andhra Pradesh, adding that it all depended on the decision of the BJP leadership.
“I have a desire to participate in the elections in Andhra Pradesh, it all depends on the decision of the higher authorities in the party,” Jaya Prada told reporters after visiting the Tirumala temple on her birthday.
However, it is highly unlikely that she will be fielded from Andhra Pradesh in the upcoming Assembly elections or in the Lok Sabha elections by the BJP as the party has already announced the names of candidates for both the elections.
The BJP is facing these elections in the state in alliance with TDP and Janasena. As part of the seat-sharing agreement between these parties, the BJP will contest six Lok Sabha and 10 Assembly seats.
The TDP will contest 144 Assembly and 17 Lok Sabha seats and Janasena will contest two Lok Sabha and 21 Assembly seats.
The elections for 175 Assembly seats and 25 Lok Sabha seats in Andhra Pradesh will be held simultaneously on May 13 and the results will be declared on June 4.
Jaya Prada also expressed her desire to be a star campaigner for the NDA candidates in the state.
TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday said his party, Janasena, and the BJP have formed an alliance to stop the atrocities of the YSRCP government led by Prime Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy.
The TDP chief also expressed confidence in his alliance’s victory in the upcoming Andhra Pradesh Assembly and Lok Sabha elections, which will be held simultaneously in the state on May 13.
“Be it Rayalaseema or Konaseema, we are getting great response everywhere. There is no doubt that we will win the coming elections,” Chandrababu Naidu said while addressing a public meeting here.
He claimed that people have decided to defeat the YSRCP in the upcoming elections.
“Just like a hungry lion waits to hunt, people from all walks of life are eagerly waiting for the elections that will press two buttons and seriously defeat the YSRCP,” Chandrababu Naidu said.
He alleged that the state has been witnessing deterioration in law and order and corruption under the YSRCP government.
“Konaseema is known for its peace. There was no violence here before. But the attacks, land grabbing, fake cases, atrocities, commissions, caste politics, mafia kingdoms, ganja and overall corruption have increased during the YSRCP regime,” he said. .
“TDP, Janasena and BJP have come before the people as a team to stop the atrocities of the YSRCP,” he added.
