Currently, there is a situation where the Telugu Desam Party has to support the BJP to form a government at the center, it has been reported that Chandrababu Naidu is imposing some conditions.
The results of the Lok Sabha elections in our country were announced yesterday. Unlike the last two elections, no party got an absolute majority in the Lok Sabha elections.
Telugu Desam: BJP has won only 240 seats. This has led to a situation where the support of the parties in the NDA alliance is mandatory to form the BJP government. Especially when Telugu Desam Party has 16 seats, it is important to see what decision the party leader Chandrababu Naidu is going to take.
In a situation where no party can get a majority in the Lok Sabha elections, Chandrababu Naidu has emerged as the kingmaker. Meanwhile, Chandrababu Naidu has given some important comments to reporters in Andhra Pradesh. In other words, he had said that he was in the NDA alliance and had gone to Delhi to attend its consultative meeting.
King Maker: At the same time, it has been reported that Chandrababu Naidu is imposing some conditions to support the formation of BJP government. In other words, in 2014, when the then central government decided to separate Telangana from Andhra Pradesh, Chandrababu Naidu strongly opposed it. However, beyond that, it was divided into separate states.
Condition 1: Thus Chandrababu Naidu has been insisting that special status should be given to Andhra Pradesh to focus on its development work. However, the central government has not heeded this for the last 10 years. Meanwhile, it has been reported that Chandrababu Naidu has set a condition that if the BJP wants to support the formation of the government, Andhra Pradesh should be given special status immediately.
Condition 2: Not only that, Chandrababu Naidu is also said to be giving a condition that he should vacate the post of Speaker. The post of Speaker is usually important when there is such a situation where no party has a majority in the Lok Sabha. Because the Speaker has the authority to take all important decisions in the House.
It is because of this that he insists that he needs the post of Speaker. We have to wait and see whether the BJP will heed these two conditions or give additional seats in the cabinet and retain the post of Speaker.
