The TDP, BJP, and JSP have reached an agreement on sharing seats in Andhra Pradesh after three rounds of discussions. TDP MP Kanakamedala Ravindra Kumar has confirmed this development, although an official statement from the BJP is still pending. According to sources, the BJP will receive six Lok Sabha and six Assembly seats in the alliance.
During a meeting involving TDP leader N Chandrababu Naidu, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and BJP president JP Nadda, consensus was reached on the division of seats. The JSP, which is already in alliance with the BJP, will be contesting two Lok Sabha and 24 Assembly seats. The TDP, on the other hand, will be contesting the remaining 17 Lok Sabha and 145 Assembly seats.

Earlier, the BJP had sought more Lok Sabha seats, but Naidu offered only six. The JSP had initially been promised three Lok Sabha seats, but will now have to give one back to the TDP. The TDP’s strategy involves focusing on specific Parliament seats, while the JSP will concentrate on certain Assembly seats.
Leaders from BJP Andhra Pradesh are targeting specific Lok Sabha seats, and there are speculations of former YSRCP MP K Raghu Rama Krishna joining the BJP. More details regarding Assembly seats and candidates will be revealed once Naidu and Pawan Kalyan return to the state. The official announcement of the alliance is expected later today.
