YSRCP Defections Cause Dilemma for TDP, Jana Sena Over Assembly Ticket Promises
- Many YSRCP leaders are preparing to defect to TDP or Jana Sena due to resentment over Jagan's candidate selection
- While welcome for opposition, defectors could create issues if promised assembly tickets in constituencies with strong existing TDP candidates
- At recent meeting, Naidu and Pawan decided to be cautious about promising tickets to YSRCP defectors to avoid internal revolt
- Defectors without strong support or with anti-incumbency will not be given direct tickets
- Alternative posts like MLC, RS seats may be offered to potential YSRCP defectors instead of immediate assembly tickets
