Politics in times of elections is different from politics in normal times. Experienced politicians spend all their time and energies on poll related strategies. They get busy with multi-farious activities of identifying winning candidates for ticket allotments, convincing warring groups within the party and also attracting strong leaders from rival parties. There is also another issue of balancing proper media attention to the party.
While the ruling TDP and the opposition YCP are far ahead in this game of electoral politics, Jana Senani Pawan Kalyan is lagging far behind. The actor turned politician is not to be seen regularly in media ahead of the elections. His party is also not becoming the talking point when it comes to candidates identification and ticket allotments.
Another disadvantage is that many leaders from his own Kapu community are preferring TDP as a first choice and later the YCP as the second choice. Analysts say Pawan is finding it very difficult to keep up the tempo of his party in the election race. The question being asked is whether Jana Senani is getting marginalised in the battle with heavyweights.
