Hyderabad: The Telugu Desam Party’s (TDP) “feelers” to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on rejoining the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) are seemingly being ignored the saffron party. The TDP, led by former chief minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, has been hinting to rekindle the alliance with the BJP, which it broke a few years ago in the run up to the 2019 state and general elections.
“We have been giving feelers to them, but there is no response from that side as of now. In fact, even Y. Sujana Chaudhry (TDP Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament who defected to the BJP) has been trying his best on that front, but it seems like they are not interested. It could be that the BJP’s local unit does not want an alliance,” said a senior TDP leader AP, who did not want to be quoted.
