Ever since Pawan started firing salvos at TDP supremo in March 2014, debate started whether Pawan Kalyan will support or ally with Jagan during 2019 elections. Yesterday, YSRCP MP Varaprasad announcing about Pawan supporting Jagan and YSRCP in the 2019 general elections created sort of political tremors across the state. It seems there have been strong reasons for YSRCP spreading on this.
Varaprasad and his announcement: Varaprasad is member of parliament from Tirupati Lok Sabha constituency since, 2014 from YSRCP party. He was IAS officer and held very high positions like principal secreatary in Tamil Nadu. He joined politics through PRP in 2009 and lost elections that time. He worked with Pawan Kalyan very closely during that time. That is the reason, his statements are drawing more attention from media regarding YSRCP alliance with Janasena. He told Pawan assured him that he will support YSRCP this time.
Reason for that statement as per Janasena: However Janasena spokespersons are condemning this news while YSRCP keeping mum on their questions. It is of everybody knowledge that YSRCP leaders can’t dare to give such key announcement without consent of Jagan. Then why Varaprasad gave such statement. As per janasena spokespersons, YSR CP Is demanding huge amounts for confirming MP and MLA tickets. In Rayalaseema region,where leader of more chances of winning seats are Do not hesitate to pay what the party is demanding but in coastal Andhra region, where YSRCP is not strong, leaders are not coming forward after seeing the humongous amounts quoted by Jagan party. Because of this,YSRCP started telling those leaders that Pawan Kalyan will support their party. But, still they were Sceptical about Pawan Kalyan supporting Jagan party before or after the elections. That is the reason Jagan asked Varaprasad to give such public announcement.
Will these rumors damage Pawan? Don ‘t they damage Jagan?
Meanwhile, analysts supporting YSRCP started subtle arguments that Pawan has to condemn these rumors Immediately otherwise it will damage prospects of Pawan. There are actually two sides for this coin. As per the analysts supporting YSRCP, if Pawan doesn’t condemn these rumors, people may think Pawan has to support either TDP or YSRCP but he can never be strong enough to go alone to the elections. That kind of thinking among people may hamper Pawan prospects in politics. This is one side of coin which YSRCP fans are believing. On the other hand, argument of Janasena fans is this: YSRCP leaders saying Pawan Kalyan is all there to support their party shows the emptiness of their earlier statements that they are very strong and will be coming into power in 2019. As per the latest announcement of Varaprasad, it looks like YSRCP desperately needs Pawan support and they are also sending the signal that, either TDP or YSCP need support of Pawan Kalyan to come into power.
