A lot of water has flown in the state politics in the last couple of years, more so in the last nine months, where the YSRC has lost much of its steam.

The TDP, on the other hand, saw a revival in its fortunes particularly in the last one year and its realignment with the Bharatiya Janata Party only brightened its prospects, at the cost of the YSRC.

The TDP is confident that the “Modi wave” will work to its advantage even in the Assembly election.  

The “anti-corruption” mood prevalent among the public in the last couple of years has obviously dampened, if not completely damaged, Jagan and his YSRC's prospects.  

Jagan's loss was TDP's gain as it emerged as the only viable alternative to the Congress.

However, Elections-2014 will be “forgettable” for the Congress as it is hit strongly not only by anti-incumbency but also by the state's bifurcation.
