What will happen in AP if Congress won Telangana?

On December 3rd, significant political changes are anticipated in the two Telugu states. The counting of votes for the Telangana general elections will take place on that day. It’s noteworthy that the TDP has decided not to contest in Telangana.

This decision may lead settlers who migrated to Telangana from Andhra Pradesh to shift their support towards Congress. Many of them hold a strong belief that BJP is responsible for YS Jagan’s government’s actions in Andhra Pradesh. Furthermore, a substantial portion of the TDP’s traditional vote bank might also redirect their support to Congress.

Surveys have also indicated that Congress is likely to secure a victory in Telangana. If Congress indeed wins Telangana, it will have significant implications for Andhra Pradesh. This marks the first political challenge to the YSRCP in Andhra Pradesh. The ruling party in Andhra Pradesh does not have a distinct vote bank of its own.

Following the unfortunate demise of YS Rajashekar Reddy, traditional Congress voters demonstrated loyalty to his son. Essentially, the current vote bank of the YSRCP is rooted in the Congress. In summary, Congress is experiencing a “feel good” factor in the country. A Congress victory in Telangana could provide the Congress High Command with the opportunity to focus on Andhra Pradesh politics.

This development is likely to act as a check on the YSRCP’s vote bank. Individuals who are dissatisfied with Jagan’s leadership and those who do not have the opportunity to secure a seat in the TDP or Jena Sena may turn to Congress as an alternative. On the other hand, Chandrababu has kept the option to join with INDIA. The victory of KCR in Telangana is crucial for both Jagan and the BJP.
