As the political storms that erupted simultaneously in New delhi and Bengaluru subsided, attention turned to the fact that two national alliances, the Congress-led INDIA, and the BJP-led nda, had chosen to ignore two prominent telugu state leaders who are eager to participate in national politics: Chandrashekar Rao and Chandrababu Naidu.

Both K. Chandrashekar Rao, the founder and leader of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), and N. chandrababu naidu, the former chief minister of andhra pradesh and leader of the telugu Desam (TD), have been fervently attempting to wrangle invites from one of the two groups.

The two 'Chandras' of telugu politics, Chandrashekar Rao and chandrababu naidu have both been attempting to take on ambitious responsibilities at the national level; Rao is eager to join an anti-Modi coalition, while Naidu is eager to join the Modi-led front. In telangana state, Rao is up against his most difficult electoral opposition to date. In order to generate national political optics and gain from it in the state, he chose to change the trs into the BRS. He is now facing enormous and growing anti-incumbency as he seeks a record-breaking third term. His first failed strategy was this one.

Chandrashekar Rao is less to blame for his approach than his stars at a time when perceptions are at an all-time low, both at the state and national levels. He was obliged to act badly at the federal level by abruptly shifting state-level requirements. The bjp took home one of the 119 seats up for election in the 2018 Assembly. The only but feeble resistance he faced was the Congress. The trs was in power with 100 members in the house when he broke two-thirds of the congress, severely weakening it.

Then, in the 2019 lok sabha elections, the bjp unexpectedly won four of the 17 seats on a Modi wave. This includes Arvind Dharmapuri's coveted nizamabad victory over K. Kavitha, Rao's daughter. It sparked a number of byelections and the ghmc elections, when the bjp consistently gained ground and appeared to be his lone adversary, forcing his domestic policies to adopt a staunch anti-Modi stance. After losing the Munugode byelection and the karnataka state elections, the bjp has been reduced to a weakling in the political see-saw. In telangana state, the congress has recovered in a nearly miraculous way, winning a noticeably noticeable spike everywhere.

Rao attempted everything in the meanwhile, including traveling the nation and meeting the leaders of major regional groups and forming a front independent of the bjp and the congress, but it was unsuccessful. Chandrashekar Rao is currently under attack from both the bjp and the congress, forcing him to avoid either front, voluntarily or not. Furthermore, his arms are further linked in selecting an anti-Modi front due to the ED and cbi proceedings against his daughter K. kavitha in the delhi liquor scandal. He can only play a free hand, in any case, following the state elections. Apart from the results, the short time span between state and national elections will primarily determine the role BRS can play before to the 2024 elections.

Because the state elections in ap will take place at the same time as the lok sabha elections, unlike in telangana, and because the TD is in opposition, chandrababu naidu does not have the same restricted freedom and flexibility as Rao. While Y.S. jagan Mohan reddy, the chief minister of andhra pradesh and president of the YSRC, has adopted the principled position of refusing to join any coalition, drawing inspiration from his elder and nearby counterpart, BJD leader Naveen Patnaik, Naidu wants to rejoin the NDA. However, all of his attempts to obtain a ghar wapsi have failed. Despite his desperate attempts to gatecrash, K. Pawan Kalyan, the leader of the Jana Sena and a tollywood celebrity, was the one who received an invitation to the nda conference.

While kalyan is eager to unite the bjp, TDP, and Jana Sena into a super-alliance to take on the YSRC, the obstinate bjp high command is forcing Naidu into a very precarious situation. It would be extremely challenging for Naidu to have any substantial influence on politics at the state or federal levels if the TD loses in the upcoming elections, which is a very likely conclusion. Without the bjp, or even worse, a split in the anti-incumbency vote, jagan Mohan reddy may be able to win again. politics for the two Chandras is like to a lunar eclipse; in order to shine once again, they must triumph in their respective states. Or, the night will be incredibly dark and lengthy.
