Not very different from the communists helping BJP defeat TMC in Bengal. Politics definitely makes for strange and opportunistic bedfellows.
The most striking of these is Nizamabad. D. Srinivas is a former AP Congress President. He opportunistically moved to TRS post Telangana formation. Then he started creating problems for Kavita – it would be politically naive to think Kavita would not setup a Turmeric/Red Sorgum board in her constituency. The 178 famers contesting had the backing of TDP and D.Srinivas. He necessitated a situation where he needed his wings clipped, and then cried himself a river. It made Kavita look arrogant, and gained him sympathy. Now this guy, a former Congress-i, current TRS Rajya Sabha member, had his son Aravind contest on BJP ticket. BJP provided him the needed money power _ Modi brand. In addition, he had Madhu Yashki Goud, his former mentor/close collegau in Congress stand for elections as a Congress candidate and split the secular votes away from Kavita. This is what it took to defeat Kavita. The coming together of Congress, TDP, BJP, and a TRS dissident.
Incidentally, almost a dozen women have accused D.Srinivas’s son of sexual harassment in his nursing college.
