NDA widens footprint ahead of 2024 Lok Sabha battle

With just weeks left before the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP has intensified its efforts to strike poll deals with parties in various states. Odisha's ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD), led by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, and BJP have hinted at a re-alliance. Speculations of a BJP deal with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP)-Jana Sena Party (JSP) combine are also alive in Andhra Pradesh. The latest developments show that the Narendra Modi-led party is now trying to revive the old NDA platform.
