Addressing a press conference on March 7, TDP State president K.

Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s frustration about the TDP-JSP alliance was evident from his outbursts and the attempts being made to drive a wedge between the allies ever since the two parties announced their first list of candidates on February 24. 

JSP political affairs committee chairman Nadendla Manohar expressed confidence that Mr. Kalyan’s efforts to rope the BJP into the JSP-TDP alliance would yield a positive result. 

The outcome of the deliberations scheduled to be held by Mr. Naidu and Mr. Kalyan with the BJP’s top brass in New Delhi on Thursday night would be known on March 8. 

He pointed out that the JSP was a constituent of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance and Mr. Kalyan had been talking to BJP about the need to join the alliance for the sake of development of the State. 

Mr. Naidu and Mr. Kalyan would reveal the details of their latest discussions with the BJP leaders after their meeting on alliance and seat adjustments ends.
