Why Kishan Reddy did soften voice on TDP?

It was not any big secret that BJP Telangana state President Kishan Reddy dislikes having alliance with TDP in Telangana state. He spells his mind again when Revanth Reddy was arrested by the ACB in the note-for-vote case. Then, he announced that he is updating his party high command about the ongoing developments and left the decision to it to decide whether to continue alliance with TDP or not. But, suddenly he softens his voice and speaking in favour of TDP now.
He said “TRS Chief KCR has cooked this note-for-vote case conspiracy in an attempt to wipe out TDP from the Telangana state. But, it backfires at him and made much damage to his TRS party than TDP in the state. Our alliance with TDP will continue in upcoming GHMC and Warangal Municipal Corporation Elections.”
But, what makes Kishan Reddy change his attitude towards TDP so suddenly? Perhaps, it is because of his party national president Amit Shah educating him about BJP’s poor representation and strength in the Telangana state. Amit Shah has made his state BJP leaders realize that their party is not strong except Hyderabad. He is also said to be scolded them for doing nothing to strengthen the party in the state. However, TDP has strong cadres all over the state and can make a dent in any elections. Its recent victory from two places in the local bodies’ elections during peak of the crisis was a fine example for its unsheltered strength and self-confidence.
Hence, Amit Shah may educates Kishan Reddy that he shouldn’t stress for snapping ties with TDP, instead should strengthen the bond between two parties until BJP strengthens its base in the state. BJP may face GHMC elections and may pocket lion share of wards in Hyderabad twin cities, but it can’t expect any such miracle in the Warangal Municipal Corporation Elections. Bye-election for Warangal Lok Sabha seat also will be held soon which is necessitated with Kadiyam Srihari’s resignation. So, BJP may need TDP support to win the elections. This is why Kishan Reddy may be softens his voice against TDP.
