The Telugu Desam (TDP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alliance has reached a broad-based understanding on the number of divisions to be contested by each party in the forthcoming elections to the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC).
Accordingly, the TDP would field its nominees in 90 of the 150 divisions and the BJP’s nominees would file their papers from the remaining 60 divisions. The accord, reached after three-day-long negotiations, however, appeared to have triggered discontent among aspirants of the two parties.
As part of the ongoing talks, the BJP leaders are understood to have expressed their reservations against the divisions proposed to be allocated to them. Party insiders said the BJP had to be content with number of divisions not proportionate to its strength in the GHMC jurisdiction. Besides, the saffron party was offered divisions where the strength of rival parties such as the MIM and the TRS was more.
The talks which commenced in the morning reached a deadlock as the BJP side insisted on allocation of divisions in the constituencies where it had its sitting MLAs and those divisions where it enjoyed strong presence. The BJP in particular is landed in a piquant situation as some of its leaders such as Goshamahal legislator Rajasingh demanding seats to nominees of their choice failing which they would contest as independents.
The TDP too had to face resistance from its own ranks as the corporators, who won previously were not willing to lose their respective divisions to the BJP in the name of coalition dharma. Some of the aspirants staged demonstration in front of Union Minister Y.S. Chowdary’s residence where the talks were underway late in the evening.
