The BRS’s decision to abstain is unsurprising, given internal challenges, including the resignation of K Kavitha and a strained relationship with both the BJP and the Congress. The party is also monitoring a crucial bypoll. The BJD, initially anticipated to offer support, has withdrawn, with Naveen Patnaik distancing himself from backing the party. Even without the BRS and BJD, the NDA has secured 438 votes with YSRCP’s support, a number that could potentially increase.
