After much dilly-dallying and several rounds of deliberations over what promises to be added, the TDP-BJP-JanaSena eventually launched its election manifesto days before the polling on Tuesday. However, the manifesto contained nothing new for the voters of Andhra Pradesh.

Ruling YSRCP has ridiculed the opposition alliance’s manifesto released by Chandrababu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan for the upcoming elections in the state. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the ruling party said Naidu and ‘"Package Star” had released their poll manifesto in 2014 too. It asked the voters to retain a copy of it as the TDP is a ‘habitual offender” and will delete the 2024 election manifesto from their website after the elections.

Reacting to the TDP-led alliance poll manifesto, YSRCP leader Gudivada Amarnath said it is not a match for the ruling party’s election manifesto. He posed a question to Naidu saying when he copied all the schemes from the ruling party’s manifesto then why should voters elect him in the upcoming elections. He added that the YSRCP government is implementing all the welfare schemes and the TDP-BJP-JanaSena will be decimated in the May 13 elections.

Whatever @YSRCParty does, @JaiTDP just follows it blindly! The manifesto is the latest addition to the list!

Copying is the sincerest form of flattery, they say! Looks like TDP's taking that to heart with their latest move – a blindfolded follow-the-leader game!#CopycatTDP pic.twitter.com/LcvaKTCOYk
