It was Megastar Chiranjeevi led Prajarajyam party that shattered the hopes of the TDP to win the election battle in 2009. Though the PRP could not achieve its target of coming to the power, it successfully stopped TDP assuming power in 2009.
As we know, TDP's 'Operation Akarsh' lured a couple of YSR Congress' MLAs recently and made them joining the TDP. YSR CP, however, alleged that the defectors were bribed with Rs.20 crores and ministerial posts.
Whatsoever, the defectors are reportedly regretting their blunders now. As Power Star Pawan Kalyan made it clear that his Janasena, would be contesting for 2019's elections, TDP may not be the prime choice for the aspirants of MLA seats. Pawan Kalyan too, immensely criticized the defectors. All in all, jump jilanis can't take Janasena's berths while Janasena remains to be opened for other politicians. Perhaps, the defectors might have blamed for their blunders.
