The fiery pace at which BJP chief Amit Shah wanted to make some grand announcements in AP was reportedly curtailed by PM Modi that was scheduled in Vijayawada. Apart from pressure from the side of Venkaiah Naidu, there was something else also. Sources say that it was Modi who had personally intervened to prevent BJP chief from welcoming top leaders and also from trying to wean away some of the TDP cadre in AP.
It has to be remembered that even in the beginning of 2013, when Modi was considered as a pariah by potential allies of NDA, an incident occurred. Call it compulsion or political opportunism, it was Chandrababu who first lent his hand of support as the first ally of BJP after Shiv Sena and Akali Dal. This pressure from Modi on Shah also resulted in a rather surprising statement that TDP is an ally and they will go together in the future too.
Meanwhile, few days ago Ram Madhav and Muralidhar Rao of BJP said they prefer to go alone and they don’t see any future alliance with TDP. Also Modi is mindful of the fact that BJP earned two MP seats in AP only due to support from TDP cadre and has also been made part of AP state cabinet for the first time ever!
