Accordingly numerous videos across several news channels and the internet had people at polling stations in Andhra Pradesh shouting slogans against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Election Commission for such a haphazard way of conducting elections in the state. Reportedly "Modi down down, EC down down" were the slogans heard from polling stations, mostly from agonized women who had waited for several hours for EVMs to start working.
Moreover the BJP knows too well that it cannot make headway in Telugu states. Cleverly, the Modi-Shah duo has invested in supporting TRS chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao and YSRCP Chief Y.S Jaganmohan Reddy to seek support in the Parliament. As per BJP's calculations, even if it gets the support of around 35-40 MPs from the Telugu states, it works well for the party in case they fall short of a majority.
