Vijayawada: TDP supremo N. Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday made it clear that the TDP, the Jana Sena and the BJP have entered into an alliance keeping in view only the benefit of the State but not for any political or personal benefit.
Chairing the workshop of the leaders of all the three alliance partners at the A1 Convention here, appealed to all the leaders to move together collectively without any egos as there is every need for the three parties to be cautious in these elections.
Expressing concern that misuse of power has reached its peak during the YSRCP rule, Naidu said desired results are possible only if care is taken in the selection of candidates.
He said if the YSRCP is back in power the State will suffer heavily. All the three parties also are keen that the anti-incumbency vote should not be divided.
Stating that Pawan Kalyan is a leader with certain policies, he said that all the Jana Sena activists are working with dedication under his leadership.
Maintaining that the TDP has its own credibility, Naidu said that he has been playing a crucial role in the selection of candidates since beginning. Admitting that all those aspirants could not be fielded in these elections as the TDP has entered into an alliance with the two parties, he said "when we want the State to be victorious we have to make certain sacrifices. We could not field some senior leaders who have been aspiring to contest the polls like Gandi Babji who wanted to be in the race from Vizag (South), Devineni Umamaheswara Rao from Mylavaram, Sridhar from Pedakurapadu and several others due to the tie-up with the two parties," he said.
The Jana Sena leaders are also facing a similar situation, he said and stated that they have to make certain sacrifices in the interest of the State though they have been working hard for the progress of the party.
"I will never forget all those who have sacrificed their seats," the former Chief Minister told the leaders.
Observing that the selection of candidates this time is done by all the three parties, he said that they had to spend sleepless nights for their selection. "The common goal of all the three parties is that all the candidates should win the polls. We should fight on behalf of the people successfully and get the votes and the Lok Satta too extended its support for us," he said.
