Chandrababu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan Campaign for NDA in Maharashtra Ahead of State Polls
Ahead of the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan have become pivotal figures in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) campaign, not only in their home state of Andhra Pradesh but also at the national level. Their involvement in Maharashtra’s poll campaign underscores their growing influence within the NDA, as they are strategically deployed to garner support among the Telugu-speaking voters in the state.
Scheduled for November 20, the Maharashtra elections have prompted the NDA to utilize the political clout of both Naidu and Kalyan, who are widely regarded for their strong appeal among the Telugu community. As part of the campaign strategy, Naidu is slated to visit Maharashtra on November 16 and 17, where he will focus his efforts in key areas such as Thane, Bhiwandi, and Worli. During his visit, he will also address a press conference to further galvanize support for NDA candidates.
Similarly, Pawan Kalyan is set to join the campaign trail in Maharashtra today, with a focus on local constituencies, lending his support to NDA candidates in regions with a significant Telugu population. The strategic placement of both leaders in these areas highlights the NDA’s effort to consolidate the Telugu vote bank in Maharashtra, which has been a crucial factor in past electoral successes.
The rationale behind the NDA’s reliance on Naidu and Kalyan is clear: both leaders have garnered substantial support within the Telugu community, especially in the Andhra Pradesh elections, where their coalition achieved a remarkable success rate. With the Telugu diaspora being a significant part of Maharashtra’s voter base, the NDA is confident that the campaigning efforts of Naidu and Kalyan will significantly influence the outcome in key constituencies.
As the election day approaches, all eyes will be on the results, which will be announced on November 23. The involvement of Naidu and Kalyan in Maharashtra’s electoral battle is expected to play a critical role in determining the NDA’s prospects in the state.
