Jana Sena chief and actor Pawan Kalyan might have received a severe drubbing in the recent Andhra Pradesh Assembly polls with the party winning just one MLA seat and Pawan Kalyan himself losing both the seats he had contested,
But this seems to have not impacted the plans of Pawan of making big in AP politics in near future.
Pawan is learnt to be making swift moves to emerge as “Main Opposition” party to YSRCP in AP.
This is because the main opposition party TDP is in doldrums and not in a position to fight against YSRCP as TDP itself is struggling to keep its house in order.
TDP is facing threat from YSRCP and BJP as TDP leaders and cadre are planning to quit party and join either YSRCP or BJP.
This left a vaccum for main opposition in AP which Pawan Kalyan wants to exploit.
According to Jana Sena sources, Pawan Kalyan is planning to hit the roads against the failures of CM Jagan and YSRCP government.
Pawan Kalyan is planning to get closer to farmers by launching series of agitation programmes against failure of Jagan in ensuring adequate fertilisers and seeds for farmers though Kharif season has begun.
Farmers are forced to queue up before shops for seeds and fertilisers and this has been leading to farmers protests and violent incidents in all the districts in AP.
Instead of addressing this issue, YSRCP government is putting blame of previous TDP government for shortage.
Pawan is questioning Jagan what prevented him from taking rectification measures since he became CM one month ago.
Pawan is asking Jagan to focus on addressing people’s issues first who voted him to power instead of engaging himself on insignificant issues like demolishing Praja Vedika, digging up old cases against previous TDP government and making attempts to send Chandrababu Naidu to jail.
Pawan also wants to take up the issue of delay in implementing Navaratnalu and lack of clarity on how required funds will be mobilised for Navaratnalu while AP is facing severe financial crisis.
Pawan wants to remain in the public for the next five years highlighting the failures of Jagan and simultaneously replace TDP as main opposition in AP and project Jana Sena as better alternative force for YSRCP.
Pawan is planning to hit the roads anytime after August 15 and is confident that several of the TDP and Congress leaders will soon join Jana Sena to take on YSRCP in the next Assembly polls.
