Meanwhile, the ruling YSRCP has already surged ahead, having announced their candidate lineup well in advance.
It’s reported that TDP and JSP are jointly organising a mammoth public gathering in Tadepalligudem on February 28. “We anticipate clarity on BJP’s potential collaboration with the TDP-JSP alliance before the public gathering,” remarked a TDP spokesperson.
Notably, there has been no official declaration from either TDP or JSP regarding the unveiling of candidate names on Saturday.
