Hyderabad, November 9: Janasena chief Pawan Kalyan’s foray into Telangana politics has ignited discussions on the party’s influence in the state. Despite limited structural presence, Pawan Kalyan’s popularity as a movie star draws attention. While Janasena maintains its alliance with the NDA, no joint appearances with BJP representatives in Telangana have been noted.
However, a sudden collaboration with BJP sees Janasena contesting in eight assembly segments. The party, active in Andhra Pradesh, also plans to participate in the 2024 assembly elections alongside the TDP. This move has triggered debates on Janasena’s shift to Telangana and the potential impact on its standing in Andhra Pradesh.
Questions arise about the alliance dynamics, particularly in places like Kukatpally, where Janasena’s M. Prem Kumar is contesting. Amidst concerns and protests, Serilingampally was allocated to BJP. The key challenge is how Janasena, aligning with BJP, will navigate the political landscape in these segments.
Pawan Kalyan, alongside Prime Minister Modi, attended a BC self-respect meeting, with criticism emerging about his speech. There’s ambiguity about Janasena’s stance on Telangana issues, with the party refraining from criticizing BJP. The alliance’s rationale and potential benefits for both parties are subjects of keen interest in political circles.
As the Janasena party rapidly announces candidates for Telangana, questions linger about their impact on these segments. Notably, those who joined the party on Monday secured tickets promptly. The alliance and the choices made by Janasena in Telangana promise to be influential factors in the upcoming political landscape.
