Attempt to woo South Indian parties.
If sources are to be believed, both alliances have announced the names of the candidates by wooing the political parties of South India. NDA declared CP Radhakrishnan as its candidate, keeping in mind the parties of South India, in the same way former judge Sudarshan Reddy has been fielded.
After the name of former judge Sudarshan Reddy came out, parties like TDP, YSRCP and BRS have also been forced to think again, who to support.
India’s alliance said a big thing. The
India Alliance said that the demands of DMK, TMC and everyone else have been met. The opposition said that they (NDA) have brought a person associated with the Sangh, and we are bringing a person from the Supreme Court.
This name meets all the conditions of the opposition – a candidate from South India, which DMK wanted, and a face outside politics, which TMC had demanded. According to TMC, a person who is non-political should be made the candidate. DMK chief and Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin had also demanded to make a face from Tamil Nadu as the candidate.
