AP BJP state unit seem to be trying to push TDP out of the alliance indirectly. The party driven by anti-Naidu faction is keen to severing ties with TDP before 2019 elections mostly due to the personal issues with the AP Chief Minister. In order to make sure the alliance is unsettled they are demanding at least 40 per cent of the GVMC wards to contest.

BJP won Vishakapatnam Parliament segment and an MLA under it. While pollsters believe that the party won this with the support of TDP, the saffron party feels that Modi wave helped them sale through. However TDP will not be very keen to give so many seats since things have changed drastically from 2014 and BJP will lose all the seats.
Particularly the people of Vishakapatnam pissed off with the party for defying all the promises made for AP before 2014 elections. They are very angry that even a simple demand like Railway Zone can not be granted. Allotting 40% seats to BJP is equal to giving those seats with out contest to YSR Congress, pollsters opine.
