However, the karnataka results should serve as nothing more than a wake-up call for both leaders. They should, first and foremost, cease taking the "Central Support" seriously. It has been established beyond a shadow of a doubt that the prime minister and the Central Agencies cannot salvage an election. If they can't do that for themselves, they won't be able to do it for jagan either if the public is behind tdp and Janasena. If they do not stop acting desperate, the bjp will attempt to gain additional seats, which is a highly risky move. In every seat granted to the Saffron party, ysr congress will defeat the BJP.
If this number is large, ysr congress will have an edge in these seats and Jagan's task would be made simpler. Additionally, rayalaseema has a sizable number of seats where Muslims have a determining role. In these seats, the tdp will suffer if the bjp and other parties form a coalition. rayalaseema will be a benefit for ysr congress, further assisting the party. They would also have to explain what has changed from their previous position on the BJP's defrauding of Andhra Pradesh. The bjp is nothing more than baggage in every sense. In Andhra Pradesh, the bjp has no seats and less than 1% of the vote. Both leaders would be better off ignoring the party and letting it fall apart.
