BJP not part of manifesto released by NDA partners, TDP-Janasena; Purandeswari

VISAKHAPATNAM: BJP Andhra Pradesh president Daggubati Purandeswari said on Wednesday that the NDA-TDP-Janasena alliance manifesto released in Andhra Pradesh only represented the election promises made by the TDP and the Janasena, not the BJP.

The joint election manifesto was released by TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu, featured 'super six' promises and several other welfare-centric schemes. Purandeswari said the BJP's dedication to the 'Rayalaseema Declaration' of 2018, entailed establishing the High Court in Kurnool and elevating the city to the status of Andhra Pradesh's second capital.

She also said that coordination committees, consisting of members from the TDP, Janasena, and BJP, had been established at both state and mandal levels to address any discrepancies. Additionally, she clarified that the joint manifesto between the TDP and the Janasena included commitments from both parties, as their manifesto was prepared prior to their alliance with the NDA.
