TDP Vs PRP Vs Congress, where is your money?

With elections within 2 months from now, political parties in Andhra Pradesh have already teamed up to face the heat. The new entry in this term of elections will be Chiranjeevi’s Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) which teamed up with ex TDP MLA and current leader of Nava Telangana Party (NTP) Devender Goud. TDP has formed a Mahakutami (Grand Alliance) with Telangana rashtra samithi (TRS) and the left parties leaving behind Congress as a single entity which now could probably look at MIM to join hands with them.

In this scenario let us make a few for’s and against’s  the 3 big parties Congress, TDP and PRP to see which party has more chances for emerging as a winner in what could be the most fierce battle in Andhra Pradesh’s political history.

(The views expressed here are strictly mine and represent no one else)


Congress:

For:
Social welfare schemes that were introduced in this term.
Supreme image of YS Raja sekhara Reddy.

Against:
Bad performances by few ministers in CM’s cabinet.
Allegations of huge corruption which the Grand alliance is trying to bring into Public.
Indecisive on the Telangana Issue.
PRP effect in central coastal districts.

TDP:

For: 
Clear view on Telangana
TDP+TRS in Telangana in Unstoppable.

Against:
Formation of Mahakutami might just turn out to be a curse to TDP in Andhra and Rayalseema districts.
PRP effect in Rayalseema.
Loss of a few big leaders.


PRP:

For:
Huge fan following.
New entry, so let’s give him a chance.
Pawan kalyan can prove to be big asset (If majority of youth which he attracts actually votes)

Against:
No clear agenda or Manifesto (Dialogues like ‘white paper….’ wont work in politics)
Unclear on Telangana issue although Chiranjeevi gave a statement which is similar to that of Congress.
Same old faces in a brand new party which is against his ‘bring a change’ theme.

Although there are many other minor issues, these are the major one’s that could play a decisive role in people’s mind while casting their votes.

My verdict:

I’ll split my result into three parts.

Better CM among YSR, Chandrababu Naidu and Chiranjeevi is Chandrababu Naidu.

The party that could win the elections is Congress

The party that I wish could win is Loksatta (Possible? May not be now but I’m sure some day in the future it comes out to be a reality)

So, where is your money?
