In Rajamahendravaram, BJP MP D. Purandeswari clarified that the NDA alliance will rely on coordination rather than a fixed formula for allocating seats in the approaching local body elections. Speaking to reporters on Sunday, she emphasized that while partnership discussions are underway, the BJP’s core mission remains building a stronger foothold in Andhra Pradesh.

  • Seat-sharing will be coordinated, not formula-based
  • BJP aims to strengthen its presence in the state
  • Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan praised for addressing Godavari pollution

Ground-Level Talks Underway

Purandeswari noted that discussions are actively taking place with BJP cadres at the grassroots level. This bottom-up approach, she suggested, ensures that decisions reflect local realities and party strengths.

Focus on Party Growth

Despite the collaborative tone, Purandeswari was clear about the BJP’s priority. “However, our agenda is to strengthen the BJP in the State,” she stated, signaling that alliance dynamics won’t overshadow the party’s expansion goals.

Recognition for Environmental Action

She also took a moment to applaud Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan for his proactive measures tackling pollution in the Godavari River. His efforts, including action against Andhra Paper Limited, were highlighted as a positive step for the region’s ecological health.
