We are dedicated to the progress of our country, with the goal of India becoming a global leader. The purpose of the meeting was to establish a strong alliance that truly represents the aspirations of the people of Andhra Pradesh. The names of the seats will be announced at a later date by each party. On X, Naidu revealed the seat-sharing plan and expressed his hope for the people of Andhra Pradesh to support the alliance and grant them the opportunity to serve. This will be the first time all three parties are running together in the 2024 elections. In 2014, TDP and BJP ran together with JanaSena as their external ally.
