TDP's second assembly candidate list to be released tomorrow: Chandrababu
Amaravati: Chandrababu Naidu, the leader of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), has announced that the party will release its second list of Assembly candidates tomorrow. This follows the recent announcement of the first list, which included 94 candidates. Speaking at the launch of the "Kalalaku Rekkalu" scheme today, Chandrababu Naidu revealed that the party's candidate selection process is in its final stages.
He also commented on the clarity between Janas Sena and BJP regarding where each party will contest, indicating that both parties will soon announce their candidates. He emphasized the alliances with BJP and Jana Sena are aimed at winning the elections and ensuring the state's welfare, stating, "Everyone is questioning why alliances are necessary.
Despite BJP being in power at the center for ten years and predictions of its return in the upcoming elections, it is believed to dominate the northern regions even if it doesn't secure many seats in the south. The state has regressed by 30 years due to recent devastations. To rebuild, central government support in terms of funds, permissions, and clearances is indispensable."

"If I win but lack central support, I cannot rebuild the state. Some question the TDP-Janasena alliance, but without it, votes will split, and the current ruling party will win again, leading to the state's ruin. After seat allocations, there are accusations of Janasena receiving fewer seats than expected, and similar taunts are directed at BJP for being a national party with few seats. Pawan Kalyan made it clear that vote-splitting must be avoided. My tenure as CM for 14 years and experience in the central government show that compromise is sometimes necessary for the greater good. This alliance is for the state's benefit, not personal gain," stated Chandrababu.
Chandrababu Naidu addressed the controversy surrounding the Chilakaluripet YCP ticket, criticizing the transaction involving Minister Rajani's transfer and the collection of ₹6.5 crores from Malladi Rajaesh Naidu for the ticket. "Minister Rajani was transferred to another constituency, and Rajaesh was told he would get Chilakaluripet. He quickly agreed, settling the deal with ₹6.5 crores, facilitated by advisor Sajjala, who acts as a broker. Criticisms against me and the parties emerge, yet they brought in Manohar as another candidate when Rajesh protested, settling for half the amount. Look at the deplorable state of politics in our state," Naidu elucidated.
