In recent weeks, KTR has been actively commenting on the political developments in neighboring Andhra Pradesh. Just days ago, he expressed surprise at the electoral outcome for Jagan Mohan Reddy despite his perceived achievements.
Now, KTR has strategically used the circumstances surrounding Chandrababu Naidu to strengthen BRS's position in Telangana. He directly appealed to Telangana voters to pay attention to Naidu's actions, referencing reports that Naidu had requested Rs 1 lakh crore in aid from the central government.
Quoting the report, KTR stated, "This is how you assert yourself in Delhi. By voting for strong regional parties that can deliver results. I hope the people of Telangana are observing closely."
Naidu, wielding considerable influence in Delhi amidst the NDA's delicate balance, has prioritized securing substantial financial assistance for Andhra Pradesh. If successful, this move could provide a significant economic uplift following the challenges faced during the YCP regime marked by heavy debts.
Following TDP+'s notable victory, Naidu now holds a pivotal role in national politics. KTR, keenly analyzing these developments, is leveraging Naidu's example to urge Telangana voters to support regional parties like BRS over national entities such as Congress and BJP.
