The Congress high command’s rigid stand on dividing the state has left its own leaders of Seemandhra region in a desperate situation, just ahead of the general elections. Hence, they are looking for a political asylum to safeguard their political interests and future. Cast and the bright electoral chances are the main factors that they consider for taking plunge into any party.

When considering cast factor, Reddy community is obviously got attracted towards YCP led by Jagan Mohan Reddy, but not all the Reddys are ready to jump into YCP, because some Reddys also face humiliation in the party. Hence, such leaders are forced to continue in Congress party hoping for some miracle to happen just before polls. Some others are said to be planning to float a new political party for their survival.

Other than Reddy community are eying TDP as the best option because it is a fine mix of all communities. Hence, they think it would be easy for them to adjust in TDP rather than trying their luck with YCP or newly floating party, which are dominated by upper casts.

However, the poll prospects of TDP and YCP leaves them in dilemma as both parties have their own strengths and weaknesses. Hence, the political equations may be fine- tuned only after elections’ bell rings.
