Exposing Hypocrisy: Vijaya Sai Reddy’s Fabricated Interview

In a recent interview with a top TV channel, Vijaya Sai Reddy was faced with a question that why he never criticized Pawan Kalyan vehemently. He was also “presented” some facts(?) by that top channel that even Pawan Kalyan goes soft on Vijaya Sai Reddy. The comments made by Vijaya Sai Reddy while answering these questions became hot topic now. However, political observers opine that this is a fabricated interview with ulterior motives. Details as below.

Vijaya Sai Reddy response on these questions:

Vijaya Sai Reddy claimed that he and Pawan Kalyan are childhood friends and both of them have mutual respect for each other. This revelation came as a response to questions regarding his lack of severe criticism against Pawan Kalyan. Vijaya Sai stated that while he has criticized Pawan politically, he has refrained from personal attacks. He also showed couple of examples where he criticized Pawan Kalyan but added that he never went overboard on Pawan.

Audience Reaction:

However, this interview has left audiences stunned due to its apparent falsehoods, exposing the hypocrisy of Vijaya Sai Reddy and also the TV channel. Contrary to his claims, both Vijaya Sai Reddy and Pawan Kalyan have engaged in vehement criticism of each other in the past and the proofs for the same are present all over the internet.

Vijaya Sai’s Criticism of Pawan:

Vijaya Sai Reddy has previously made derogatory remarks about Pawan Kalyan’s mental state. He even ridiculed his fan base, and belittled his political alliances. He intentionally used the word “zero” referring to the number of MLA seats Pawan’s Janasena has in AP assembly and poked Pawan with such comments. He has even used demeaning language targeting Pawan’s community, displaying a clear animosity towards the actor-turned-politician.

Pawan’s “Suit Case Reddy” Remarks:

In retaliation, Pawan Kalyan has not held back in his criticism of Vijaya Sai Reddy, often referring to him as “Suitcase” Reddy, alluding to allegations of money laundering and political corruption. Pawan’s attack referring to the activities that Vijaya Sai Reddy takes care in Delhi were very insulting to the chartered accountant turned politician. Yet, the news channel went on to say that Pawan doesn’t criticize Vijaya Sai much.

Fabricated Interview Motive:

The timing of this fabricated interview raises questions, especially as Vijaya Sai Reddy gears up for his first direct election as a Lok Sabha candidate. As everyone knows he has been enjoying nominated post of Rajya Sabha MP till recent past. It appears that he may be attempting to soften his image among undecided voters, particularly those with a soft spot for Pawan Kalyan. The involvement of a top TV channel known for shaping and tweaking public opinion further fuels suspicions of a concerted effort to sway public perception in Vijaya Sai’s favor.

The fabricated interview not only exposes the hypocrisy of Vijaya Sai Reddy but also underscores the motive of the top channel that always supports the ruling political parties in Telugu states.

0

The opposition TDP had released its third list of candidates for the coming general election. The party had kept five Assembly and four Parliament seats pending.

The party had so far released the list for the 128 Assembly seats in the last two lists out of 144 seats that the party would be contesting this time. The TDP had given 10 Assembly seats to the BJP and 21 seats to the Jana Sena in alliance.

Besides the Assembly, the TDP had also given six MP seats to the BJP and two MP seats to the Jana Sena. The BJP is yet to release its list of candidates for both the Assembly and Parliament seats.

The Jana Sena had released six Assembly seats and one parliament seat from its share. Pawan Kalyan, though said that he would contest from Pithapuram Assembly constituency, is on two minds. He is yet to decide whether he would contest the Assembly or the Parliament seats.

Pawan Kalyan said that the BJP top leadership is asking him to contest for the Parliament seat. He said he would consider contesting from Kakinada Parliament seat if the BJP leadership insists upon.

Meanwhile, in the third leader, the TDP fielded, K Rammohan Naidu for Srikakulam, M Bharat for Visakhapatnam, G Mahesh for Amalapuram, P Mahesh Yadav for Eluru, Kesineni Sivanadh for Vijayawada, P Chandrasekhar for Guntur, Lavu Srikrishna Devarayalu for Narasaraopet, T Krishna Prasad for Bapatla, Vemireddy Prabhakar Reddy for Nellore, D Prasada Rao for Chittoor, B Nagaraju for Kurnool, B Sabari for Nandyala and B K Pardhasaradhi for Hindupur Lok Sabha constituencies.

In the Assembly list, Chandrababu Naidu had cleared the names of G Sririsha for Palasa, M Govinda Rao for Pathapatnam, G Shankar for Srikakulam, K Lalithakumari for Srungavarapukota, V Venkateswara Rao for Kakinada city, A Ananda Rao for Amalapuram, Bode Prasad for Penamaluru, Vasantha Venkata Krishna Prasad for Mylavaram, Ch Aravinda Babu for Narasaraopet, M Malakondaiah for Chirala, and Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy for Sarvepalli segments.

Quite interestingly, Chandrababu Naidu did not give ticket to former minister Devineni Umamahesara Rao. He was replaced by YSRCP MLA Vasantha Venkata Krishna Prasad at Mylavaram in NTR district.

Janasena Fans Fire Back at YSRCP’s Social Media Attacks on Pawan Kalyan

0

In the run-up to the upcoming elections, the political atmosphere in Andhra Pradesh has become increasingly charged, with social media emerging as a battleground for political sparring. Recently, YSRCP’s social media teams have launched a relentless campaign to tarnish the image of Pawan Kalyan, who is contesting from the Pithapuram constituency. Their efforts have sparked a fierce response from Janasena fans, who are vehemently defending their leader against the onslaught of negative propaganda.

YSRCP’s Social Media Offensive:

The YSRCP’s social media teams, known colloquially as the “Paytm teams,” have been circulating memes and posts aimed at undermining Pawan Kalyan’s credibility and reputation. One such viral meme compares the educational qualifications of YSRCP candidate Vanga Geetha with Pawan Kalyan’s academic background, portraying Geetha as highly educated and Kalyan as a 12th-grade dropout. The intent behind these posts is clear: to discredit Pawan Kalyan and sway public opinion against him.

Janasena Fans’ Counterattack:

In response to the YSRCP’s social media onslaught, Janasena fans and supporters, along with TDP loyalists, have launched a robust counter-offensive. They have highlighted several crucial points to debunk the false narratives propagated by the YSRCP.

Firstly, they point out that while Pawan Kalyan may lack formal education, he stands untainted by any criminal charges, unlike YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, who faces numerous legal cases, including allegations of money laundering and corruption. Some others shared videos of Shamila and Sunitha questioning the role of Jagan in the Viveka murder case to draw parallels between the characters of Jagan and Pawan.

Furthermore, Janasena supporters have raised questions about the integrity of YSRCP’s candidates, particularly Vanga Geetha. They have shared videos and testimonials from constituents in the Kakinada region, questioning Geetha’s track record as an MP and her failure to initiate significant development projects in her constituency (Kakinada) during her tenure. Critics argue that Geetha’s underperformance as an MP disqualifies her from seeking votes in Pithapuram and the assembly constituency falling under the Kakinada MP constituency.

Overall:

The social media skirmish between Janasena and YSRCP underscores the pivotal role of digital platforms in shaping public opinion and influencing electoral outcomes. Both parties are leveraging social media as a tool to rally support and discredit their opponents. However, amidst the barrage of memes and propaganda, voters must exercise discernment and critically evaluate the information presented to them. Ultimately, the ballot box will determine the state’s fate, and every citizen must make an informed choice based on facts rather than propaganda.

Pawan confident of NDA forming govt in AP

Jana Sena chief, Pawn Kalyan, on Sunday expressed confidence that it is the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), of which the TDP and the Jana Sena are partners, that is going to form the coming government.

Addressing the Praja Galam (people’s voice) public meeting at Boppudi near Chilakaluripet of which Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, is the chief guest along with TDP president, Chandrababu Naidu, the Jana Sena chief said that the arrival of Modi’s visit to the State is a big relief for the State which is now crumbling with deep debts and without any development. Pawan Kalyan told the massive public meeting where a record number of people from all parts of the State gathered that all the five crore people of the State are feeling happy at the three parties, the TDP, the BJP and the Jana Sena, coming together.

Recalling the alliance in 2014 formed at the world famous pilgrim town of Tirupati, Pawan Kalyan said that the alliance was announced then with the blessings of Lord Balaji and now again in 2024 the three parties have come together with the blessings of Goddess Kanakadurga. “My hearty welcome to Modi who is going to create a record by achieving a hatrick and his arrival here has reposed faith among the people of the State that Amaravathi is going to shine again,” he stated.

Teriming Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, as a liquor baron, Pawan Kalyan said that Jagan has failed to clear Rs 10,000 cr GST and through JP Ventures, a binami of Jagan, he minted Rs 40,000 cr. Though the State has recorded business transactions of Rs 1.20 lakh cr, the Chief Minister has projected it as a mere Rs 84 cr thus minting such a huge amount of money, he said. “Jagan’s main goal is making money but not to develop the State,” he said.

Regretting that no industry has been set up after Jagan came to power, Pawan Kalyan said that on the other hand those which are existing earlier are running away from here unable to bear the harassment. The percentage of industrial growth in the State in 2014 was 10.4 per cent which is now -3 (minus three) per cent. The State is recording negative growth in this, he said.

Observing that Jagan feels that he can do anything with the huge money that he has, the Jana Sena chief said that Modi, however, is going to establish Rama Rajya here. The Kurukshetra battle has begun, Pawan Kalyan said and called upon the people to support the NDA as ultimately the victory will be that of morality and virtue.

End of atrocious rule soon, say alliance leaders

0

The TDP, Jana Sena and the BJP alliance which is formed to realise the dreams of five crore people by ending the atrocious rule is going to create a history in the State.

The alliance leaders, under the stewardship of TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Wednesday performed the Bhoomi Pooja exactly at 9.32 am at Boppudi where the alliance is organising a massive public meeting on March 17 to be attended by Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, besides TDP supremo, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, and Jana Sena chief, Pawan Kalyan, along with several other senior leaders of all the three parties. This apart, Lokesh also launched the other works being taken up at the meeting venue.

Since this is the first meeting being organised after the alliance, all the three parties have taken the programme as a prestigious one and the leaders recall that even in 2014 too the then alliance partners launched the election campaign in Guntur district which turned out to be a grand success. The alliance partners are moving ahead with the same sentiment for 2024 polls too.

Since all the top leaders of the three parties are going to address the public meeting to be attended by lakhs of people from across the State, Lokesh and leaders of other two parties on Wednesday discussed in detail the arrangements to be made for the programme being organised on a spacious 200 acres. Lokesh asked the organisers to ensure that no inconvenience of any kind is caused for anyone who is attending the meeting.

Those who attended the meeting included TDP State unit president, Kinjerapu Atchen Naidu, former ministers, Pattipati Pulla Rao and Kanna Laxminarayana, senior TDP leaders like Kommareddy Pattabhiram, Alapati Rajendra Prasad and Nakka Ananda Babu besides others. From the BJP, party leader Paturi Nagabhushanam, and from the Jana Sena party leader, Kalyanam Siva Srinivas and many others from the three parties were present.

Pattipati Pulla Rao expressed confidence that the YSRCP will be completely rooted out of the State and the people are eagerly waiting for the March 17 meeting. Modi, Chandrababu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan will be given a clear roadmap for the progress of the State, he added.

As the development of the State is not possible without the cooperation of the Centre, people want the alliance among the three parties, Pulla Rao said and stated that the Bopped meeting is going to create a history in the State politics. Mr Kommareddy Pattabiram said that a total of 130 members will be working in the 13 committees and the psycho rule demolition will begin on March 17.

The pathetic situation of the YSRCP reflects from the fact that in one Assembly segment the candidates have been replaced three times, Pattabhi said. People from any section of society are feeling secure in the YSRCP rule, he added.

Nagabhushanam said that the YSRCP is not getting even candidates to contest the upcoming polls and the alliance will work towards sending home Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, who destroyed the State and all the three parties will work like Three Murthys for the development of the State.

Expressing confidence that the 2014 results are going to be repeated in the State, Jana Sena leader Nagaraju said that Jagan has demolished all sectors and the people are eagerly waiting for rebuilding the State. All the leaders made a fervent appeal to the people of the State to attend the March 17 meeting in large numbers and extend their solidarity with the alliance.

TDP to contest 144 MLA seats, Jana Sena 21, BJP 10

The opposition TDP is set to contest 144 Assembly seats in the state in alliance with the Jana Sena and the BJP. The seat sharing was finalised at a meeting held among the three parties at Chandrababu Naidu’s residence the other day.

BJP senior leader and Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu and Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan held prolonged discussions over the seat sharing. The discussions were held for almost 8 hours among the three leaders, assisted by their respective party leaders.

The Jana Sena had come down to 21 seats from the initial number of 24 seats. The TDP had initially given 24 seats to the Jana Sena. However, after the Monday’s talks, the party had come down to 21 seats, leaving three seats to the BJP.

The bargain with the BJP started at six seats and it finally concluded at 10 seats. The BJP is said to have insisted upon contesting double digit numbers and accordingly settled down at 10 seats. While the Jana Sena had given three seats, the TDP had given one seat to the BJP, reducing its strength to 144 seats.

TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu had sought to advise the Jana Sena and the BJP leaders to ensure that better candidates are fielded in their constituencies to defeat the ruling YSR Congress candidates. He said that his party is ready to assist both the Jana Sena and the BJP in selecting the candidates for the seats given to them.

The Jana Sena made a big sacrifice by giving up three seats for the BJP. Though the Jana Sena activists were not happy with the party taking just 24 seats initially, the Jana Sena chief had made a big sacrifice by further bringing down the number.

Pawan Kalyan is committed to the defeat of the YSR Congress and had said that he would be ready for any sort of sacrifice to ensure the defeat of the YSR Congress. Accordingly, he made the big sacrifice by losing three seats to the BJP.

Pawan Kalyan is expected to explain the reasons for giving up three seats to the BJP and is said to be pacifying the angry party workers. The party rank and file are not happy with the 24 seats. Now, Pawan Kalyan has further brought down the number. It is to be seen how the Jana Sena activists would react to this decision.

Coming TDP-Jana Sena govt will revive quota for BCs in local bodies, says Lokesh

Pointing out that the YSRCP Government has brought down the reservation for Backward Classes (BCs) in local bodies by 10 per cent, TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Sunday promised that the quota will be revived by the coming TDP-Jana Sena government.

Addressing a public meeting at Uravakonda in the combined Anantapur district as part of the ongoing Sankaharavam programme, Lokesh said that the coming TDP-Jana Sena combine government will spend Rs 10,000 cfr for the empowerment of BCs and Rs 5,000 cr will be spent under Adarana scheme. Stating that the Kia car company set up in Anantapur district during the TDP regime is a tremendous success, Lokesh said that the Kia cars manufactured here are being operated across the country.

Comparing Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, with Kim of North Korea, the TDP national general secretary said that the only difference between the two is their hairstyle. “Kim had 17 palaces in North Korea while Jagan has six palaces in various parts of the country while Kim killed his own paternal uncle and everyone in the State knows about who killed Babai (paternal uncle),” he stated.

Regretting that the spurious liquor being sold in the State is claiming several innocent lives, Lokesh said Jagan has the habit of giving Rs 10 for the beneficiaries by pressing the button from one hand and taking back Rs 100 from them by pressing another button. He asked as to why the prices of various commodities have been revised several times.

Observing that Jagan has the credit of withdrawing over 100 welfare schemes, Lokesh said that TDP president, Chandrababu Naidu, and Jana Sena chief, Pawan Kalyan, have announced the Super-Six only after feeling the problems of the common man. Within a very short time all these schemes will be implemented to bring the people out of their problems, he remarked.

The increasing number of farmers suicides is an issue of serious concern, Lokesh said and stated that the TDP-Jana Sena government being formed within a short period, will extend Rs 20,000 to each farmer as a financial assistance. Reiterating that free bus travel facility will be provided for women, he said that all possible steps will be initiated for the uplift of the BCs.

Stating that Anantapur district has a special place in the heart of the TDP supremo, Chandrababu, he recalled that the voters of Hindupur have elected his uncle, Bala Krishna, twice. Those who were allotted lands in Anantapur district have invested in the companies owned by Jagan, Lokesh said that 8,000 acres have been acquired in the name of Science City but not even a single company has been set up yet.

Asking the TDP-Jana Sena activists to take the Super-Six schemes to every doorstep, Lokesh said that the services of those who are working hard for the success of the combine will be recognised and they will be given nominated posts in the coming TDP-Jana Sena government.

March 17 TDP-Jana Sena public meeting at Chilakaluripet will be historic, say Atchen Naidu, Nadendla

0

The public meeting being organised by both the TDP and the Jana Sena at Chilakaluripet on March 17 is going to create history in State politics, said president of the State unit of the TDP, Kinjerapu Atchen Naidu, and Jana Sena Political Affairs Committee (PAC) Chairman, Nadendla Manohar, on Thursday.

Addressing a joint media conference here, both the leaders announced that TDP supremo, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, and Jana Sena chief, Pawan Kalyan, are going to unveil an unprecedented event at the massive public meeting at Chilakaluripet where over 10 lakh people are gathering. Besides the combined manifesto, both the leaders will announce the future course of action of both the TDP and the Jana Sena, they said.

Calling upon the activists of both the parties, all sections of people, including women, to attend in large numbers to make the meeting a resounding success, Atchen Naidu and Manohar made it clear that the efforts of the YSRCP to bring differences between the two parties will be a miserable failure. Both the leaders announced that a separate call centre with legal experts with the number 7306299999 has been set up at the TDP headquarters here to help all those activists of both the TDP and the Jana Sena who are being harassed by the YSRCP leaders in the name of filing false cases.

Observing that political parties generally enter into an alliance only with a view to coming to power, they said that in Andhra Pradesh, however, both the TDP and the Jana Sena have joined hands to end the autocratic and dictatorial rule and keeping in view the welfare of the people. Both the parties are moving in a systematic way after joining hands sending shock waves in the ruling YSRCP, they added.

Making it clear that the YSRCP can never be successful in bringing division between both the TDP and the Jana Sena, Atchen Naidu and Manohar said that the YSRCP is making every effort to create differences among the party leaders and activists. “Even the YSRCP leaders are making threatening calls to the TDP and the Jana Sena activists on filing false cases against them,” they stated.

Chandrababu and Pawan Kalyan are going to make important announcements at the Chilakaluripet meeting on Super-Six schemes besides on other issues, Atchen Naidu and Manohar added. Both the leaders made it clear that they do not have any objection to join hands with the BJP in the coming elections and that Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday visited New Delhi on an invitation from the BJP.

Manohar said that Pawan Kalyan will be reaching New Delhi by late on Thursday evening and after detailed discussions with the senior BJP leaders, both Chandrababu and Pawan Kalyan will provide all the details to the media on the possible alliance. Some searches are conducted on the Jana Sena office here only to threaten the party leaders and the party will take legal recourse on this, Manohar observed.

YSR Congress MLA to quit party, to join Jana Sena

0

Ruling YSR Congress MLA from Chittoor, Arani Srinivasulu on Wednesday announced that he would quit the party and join the Jana Sena. He said he would meet Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan on Thursday and join the party.

He alleged that the YSR Congress leaders have done injustice to him in the last five years. He said that the Kapus have no recognition in the party. The party leadership had been discriminating against the Kapus in the party, he alleged.

He said that the party leadership had promised to give him Chittoor ticket once again. However, they have changed their mind. They promised to send me to Rajya Sabha. However, that was also changed at the last minute, he said.

He further said that he was promised the APIIC chairman post by those at the helm. However, that was also not given, he said. He wondered what went wrong with him for the party leadership to stop giving all these positions.

The MLA said that the government did not give him bills worth Rs 73 crore. He said he laid several roads in the constituency in the last five years. Those bills are not being cleared, he alleged. He said that some elders in the party were giving bills to those whom they like and keeping the bills of others in pending.

Srinivasulu further said that the government had promised to build Kapu Bhavan in Chittoor. However, that was given up at the last minute. He said that he made several representations to the government seeking construction of Kapu Bhavan in vain.

He said that there was no justice for the Kapus in the YSR Congress. The party had not given a single Ministry to the Kapus from the Rayalaseema region, he said. He also alleged that the party leadership was looking down at the Kapus in the party.

He made an appeal to the Kapus in the party to come out and support Jana Sena. He said he had decided to quit the party and join the Jana Sena in the presence of Pawan Kalyan. He said that no Kapu would vote for the YSR Congress in the coming general election.

Naidu, Pawan announce Rs 4,000 monthly pension for above 50 years

Stating that the TDP is indebted for the Backward Classes (BCs) for their unstinted support to the party for the past 40 years, party president, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, said that the BC declaration is only aimed at repaying the debt for them.

Flanked by Jana Sena chief, Pawan Kalyan, announcing the BC declaration at a massive public meeting ‘Jayaho BCs’ held near Nagarjuna University, Chandrababu Naidu explained that the declaration includes payment of Rs 4,000 monthly pension for all the BCs who cross 50 years of age and allocation of Rs 1.5 lakh cr for five years through the BC sub-plan. Making a fervent appeal to the community to extend their cooperation to the TDP-Jana Sena combine to bring the State onto the track, Chandrababu Naidu said that this Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, is treating the BCs as slaves.

Observing that Jagan has some sort of hatred towards the BCs, the TDP supremo said that Mr Jagan did not change the sitting MLAs, Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy and Chevireddy Bhasker Reddy, but many sitting BC MLAs did not get the chance to be in the race again. In fact, there is no social justice during the Jagan rule but it is all axing the community, he remarked. Chandrababu Naidu said that the 10-point BC declaration is only aimed at achieving the progress of the backward communities, he said that the declaration has been formulated after detailed discussions with several senior leaders from both the TDP and the Jana Sena.

Stressing the need for caste census as per the laid down norms, Chandrababu Naidu said the census should include the economic status of all the BC communities and all the sub-castes should be given proper importance. “My sole aim is to accord priority to all the sub-castes and promote them in all sectors by according proper importance to them,” the TDP supremo maintained.

Regretting that over 300 BCs were killed for various reasons after the YSRCP came to power, he said illegal cases have been foisted against thousands of people belonging to the community. Chandrababu Naidu felt that this is nothing but to suppress the BCs who are growing politically. Promising to enact a separate legislation for the security of BCs by the coming TDP-Jana Sena government, Chandrababu Naidu warned of stringent action against all those who cause any kind of harm to the community.

Assuring the BCs to revive all the welfare schemes that were successfully implemented by the TDP regime, he said that all the pending buildings will be completed and the caste certificates will be issued to the BCs to prevent any kind of harassment by the official circles. Chandrababu Naidu felt that if there are no BCs comprising 153 sub-castes there is no culture.

Certain points mentioned in the declaration

1) Payment of Rs 4,000 monthly pension for all those who crossed 50 years of age

2) Enactment of separate legislation for the safety and security of BCs

3) Spending Rs 1.5 lakh cr through BC sub-plan in five years

4) Reviving 34 per cent reservation for BCs

5) Restoration of incentives for economic progress and providing employment opportunities

6) Caste census as per law

7) Revival of payment of Rs 10 lakh under Chandranna Bheema and hiking Pelli Kanuka to Rs 1 lakh

8) Handing over permanent caste certificates

9) Revival of all schemes to encourage education among BCs

10) Completion of BC Bhavana and community halls within one year of forming the government

Mahasena Rajesh: Twists and Turns in the Political Journey of Dalit Leader

Saripella Rajesh, better known as Mahasena Rajesh, emerged as a prominent Dalit activist in this era of Social media. However, his recent decision to withdraw from the electoral contest in the P Gannavaram constituency has become the talk of the town in Andhra Pradesh and raised questions about the intersection of caste, politics, and personal integrity.

Rajesh’s Affiliation with YSRCP before 2019:

Initially aligned with the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), Rajesh garnered attention for his vocal stance against upper-caste oppression. His pro-Dalit organization, Mahasena, supported the YSRCP during the 2019 elections, amplifying its campaign through social media platforms. YSRCP did not care about the comments he made regarding caste oppression and his anti-upper caste remarks while joining him and taking his support for campaigning in the 2019 elections.

The shift in Loyalties: From Jagan to Pawan

Post-2019, Rajesh’s relationship with the YSRCP soured, leading to his departure from the party. He became a vocal critic of Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy’s administration, drawing the ire of the ruling party, which filed legal cases against him. Despite facing adversity, Rajesh found solace in supporting Pawan Kalyan’s Janasena Party, earning popularity for his social media posts critiquing the government’s policies.

Failed attempt to join Janasena:

Speculations arose regarding Rajesh’s potential alliance with Janasena, fueled by his public altercation with alleged YSRCP supporters. However, despite initial interest from Pawan Kalyan, Rajesh’s association with controversy, including his ownership of a luxurious Audi car, hindered his inclusion in the party.

Opportunity in TDP:

Seeking refuge, Rajesh turned to the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), where he found support from Chandrababu Naidu, who recognized his fighting spirit. Promised an MLA ticket, Rajesh received the nomination from P Gannavaram, igniting a series of political attacks from opponents who resurfaced his past comments and made his old videos viral on social media to damage the prospects of Rajesh and TDP.

Voluntary Withdrawal:

Amid mounting pressure and allegations, Rajesh voluntarily withdrew from the electoral race, citing the exploitation of his identity for political gains. His decision sparked debates about caste-based politics and the integrity of political alliances. While TDP cadres accuse the YSRCP of orchestrating Rajesh’s downfall, the future of his candidacy remains uncertain, pending a decision from Chandrababu Naidu. TDP followers support Rajesh and argue that YSRCP leaders intentionally mud-slinging at him as his candidature ensures the defeat of the YSRCP candidate in the constituency.

As the electoral drama unfolds, Rajesh’s withdrawal underscores the challenges Dalit activists face navigating the volatile landscape of Indian politics.

TDP, Jana Sena tie-up is people’s choice: Chandrababu

0

TDP president, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, made it clear that the alliance between the TDP and the Jana Sena is the choice of the people who brought both the parties together for free Andhra Pradesh.

Addressing a largely attended pubic meeting at Tadepalligudem organised as ‘Jenda’ (flag) and attended by r Chandrababu Naidu and Jana Sena chief, Pawan Kalyan, besides senior leaders of both the parties, the TDP supremo termed Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, as a bluff master. “Mr Jagan has been chasing his own sister and mother and the people can imagine the fate of the State if he continues in power any longer,” Chandrababu Naidu commented.

Observing that in the name of cinema theatre tickets, Jagan has harassed noted Tollywood hero, Chiranjeevi, and the famous director\, Rajamouli, Chandrababu Naidu said that the people are ready to set the YSRCP ablaze. Expressing confidence that the TDP-Jana Sena is going to form the government soon, he said that it is the winning game of the alliance while the YSRCP is a cheating game.

Chandrababu Naidu announced that the joint election manifesto of both the parties will soon be released, Jagan has acted in an utter flop serial which does not have a sequel. “An utter flop film naturally does not have a sequel,” he commented. The TDP-Jana Sena tie-up is a super-hit, he remarked and felt that the people gathered in such a large number for Wednesday’s “Jenda’ meeting are going to lay the foundation for rewriting the State’s history.

People are ready to chase out the rulers of this Government who damaged the State totally with egoistic mindset, Chandrababu Naidu said and stated that the State is currently witnessing a psycho rule. This psycho Chief Minister has brought in the GO 1 to control the media and the Opposition parties, he said and asked whether Jagan has done at least one good work for the development of the State. He started his ruling by demolishing the Praja Vedika and that is his attitude, the TDP national president observed.

When Jana Sena chief, Pawan Kalyan, organised a meeting at Ippatam, this Chief Minister demolished the houses of those who have given their land for organising the meeting, he noted. Reaffirming his commitment to make the Telugu community as number one in the world, Chandrababu Naidu made it clear that he and Mr Pawan Kalyan are ready to make any kind of sacrifices to save this State from such elements.

Terming Jagan as a bluff master, Chandrababu Naidu said that he always utters lies to take the innocent people for a ride. This is the reason as to why Jagan has no credibility, he added. Pointing out that both the TDP and the Jana Sena have announced candidates for 99 seats, he said that the candidates for other seats too will be declared soon.

“We are selecting the candidates with a responsibility and we are going to win the coming elections. No power on earth can stop the victory of the TDP-Jana Sena alliance,” Chandrababu Naidu maintained.

Expressing confidence that the TDP-Jana Sena alliance is a super hit, TDP supremo, Nara Chandrababu Naidi, said that Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, has initially made every effort to damage the tie-up since he has failed in this, he is now hatching conspiracies to break the alliance.

Terming Jagan as a traitor of North Andhra, Chandrababu Naidu said that he has done his Ph D in uttering lies. This Chief Minister, who has completely ignored the RTC, has purchased bullet-proof cars spending crores of public money, Chandrababu Naidu observed.

How can the people repose faith in Jagan who has revoked several welfare schemes that are beneficial for the poor but looted thousands of crores of public money, the TDP supremo asked. “Will the people believe Jagan’s claim that he is in favour of the poor,” he said.

Expressing confidence that the people of Srikakulam will again honour the TDP who have been respecting the party since its inception, Chandrababu Naidu said that he has a special affection for Srikakulam district. “This is a district which has sent most powerful leaders like Yerran Naidu, to the State, let us begin our meeting recollecting his services,” he stated.

Asking the massive gathering whether they are ready to send Jagan, who is responsible for this atrocious rule, Chandrababu Naidu said that everyone is a victim of this Government. Maintaining that the State has suffered heavily due to bifurcation, he said he has prepared a vision for 2029 giving priority for Amaravati, Polavaram and for setting up of industries.

Expressing serious concern that the poor have become poorest in Jagan’s rule, he said that only the YSRCP leaders have become rich. The youth have no jobs while the prices of essential commodities have gone up so steeply pushing the common man into trouble. This Chief Minister has imposed Rs 8 lakh on every family, he added.

Observing that the dream of the TDP founder, late NTR Rama Rao, is to build a poverty-free society, Chandrababu Naidu said that this is the reason as to why he has created equal rights for women in ancestral properties. Making it clear that the TDP-Jana Sena alliance is a super-hit, Chandrababu Naidu said that the YSRCP is not even getting candidates to contest the coming elections.

Regretting that even the media has no freedom in the State, the TDP national president said that those who are projecting facts are being subjected to attacks. “This Chief Minister is a psycho and has some mental imbalance,” he remarked. He said that if the YSRCP leaders fold their shirts the TDP activists will fold the chairs to send the YSRCP home.

Chandrababu Naidu promised to work for interlinking of the Vamsadhara and the Nagavali rivers on a warfootingh basis once the TDP-Jana Sena combine is into power in the coming polls. The TDP supremo also promised to fulfil all the promises made to the people of North Andhra.

TDP-Jana Sena tie-up only for future of 5 cr people, says Naidu

0

Observing that the candidates for both the TDP and the Jana Sena have been selected keeping in view the interests of the State, TDP president, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, felt that the upcoming elections are very crucial for the future of the people of the State.

“The TDP and the Jana Sena have come together only in the interest of the five crore people of the State,” Chandrababu Naidu observed while addressing the selected TDP candidates through video conference. Besides congratulating them on their selection in the first list itself, Chandrababu Naidu gave a road map for them on how to go about to face the coming elections.

Stating that never the selection of the candidates was done so early, he said that this time the selection of the candidates has been made by adopting a new method through which he sought the support of the party leaders and the cadre for those who will be in the race. “I have gathered the opinions of 1.3 crore people and thoroughly studied the survey reports before announcing the selection of the party candidates. No political party in the country has conducted such a massive exercise,” Chandrababu Naidu maintained and said that now these candidates should strive hard so that the TDP will not get defeated even a single seat.

Cautioning the candidates and the party activists to see to it that not even a single mistake is committed by the party leaders at any level, he felt that the coming 40 days are very crucial for the TDP. “Be among the people always and try to instill confidence among them on their better future,” he told the party candidates.

Chandrababu Naidu is firm in his opinion that the ego of Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, has laid the foundation for his downfall. People are ready to send Jagan home as they have never experienced such a disastrous rule in their life, he remarked. Observing that already Super-Six schemes have been announced, Chandrababu Naidu said that combined candidates have been announced for 99 Assembly segments.

Making it clear that it is the duty of the party candidates to win the confidence of the electorate and get the votes in their favour, Chandrababu Naidu felt that Jagan is not ready (Sidhham) for the elections and till now could not announce the contesting candidates either for the Lok Sabha seats or for Assembly segments. Making it clear to the TDP candidates not to take the polls easy through anti-incumbency is visible at every stage, the TDP supremo told the party candidates to be among the people even if they are seniors and have enough public support.

“Get ready to face the challenges to be thrown by the YSRCP leaders, including Jagan as part of their conspiracy. The Jana Sena is our alliance partner and thus all of you should give proper respect to them and take the party cadre along with you,” Chandrababu Naidu told the TDP candidates who are in the race.

Chandrababu Naidu told the party candidates that 100 per cent of the transfer of votes is possible only if the TDP and the Jana Sena activists and leaders work together. He also told them to welcome into the party any leader with a good background.

Social Media Talk: Jana Sena Fans Disheartened by Limited Electoral Contestation

0

The recent announcement that Jana Sena party will contest from only 24 out of 175 seats in the upcoming assembly elections has sparked widespread disappointment among its ardent supporters. What was initially anticipated to be a significant political stride forward has left many fans feeling disenchanted and questioning Jana Sena party’s strategic decisions.

Reasonable Expectations from Fans:

Over the past five years, the Jana Sena party has demonstrated fighting spirit against the ruling party, instilling confidence among supporters that Pawan would one day ascend to the role of Chief Minister. The party’s proactive involvement in the 2020 local elections, Pawan’s calls for Kapus to embrace an “elder brother” role in politics, and his appeal to fans to trust in his strategic vision, further reinforced their expectations.

Despite their optimism, fans also recognized the practical challenges and understood that Pawan’s ascension to the role of CM in the 2024 elections was unlikely. So, they acknowledged the immediate goal of steering the party into the state assembly with as many seats as possible.

Desired Number of Seats by fans is 1/3rd Seats i.e. 55 Assembly Seats

Prominent political figures like Hari Rama Jogayya penned letters to Pawan, urging him not to settle for anything less than 65 – 70 seats. Pawan also conveyed to his supporters that Jana Sena would only form an alliance if it secured a respectable number of seats. He asserted that his party would certainly contest from more than 1/3rd of the seats, leading fans to anticipate around 58 out of 175 seats as part of the alliance.

Fans were somewhat accepting if Jana Sena secured fewer than one-third of the total 25 MP seats, but they were staunchly unwilling to see their leader settle for anything less than 55 seats out of the total 175 MLA seats.

Disappointment and Frustration after the announcement:

However, the revelation of Jana Sena’s limited contestation from just 24 seats and 3 MP seats fell far short of fans’ expectations. What was initially envisioned as a significant electoral presence now appears to be a mere fraction of what fans had hoped for. Many supporters expressed their disillusionment, questioning the wisdom of such a strategic decision and pondering whether Jana Sena would have been better off contesting alone.

Impact on Vote Transfer from Jana Sena Fans to TDP:

Jana Sena fans have taken to various platforms to voice their frustration and profound disappointment with this announcement. A prevailing sentiment among them is that Pawan has been trapped by CBN’s political maneuvers. Concerns about the smooth transfer of votes from Jana Sena to the TDP have only intensified tensions, with some Jana Sena supporters openly expressing their reluctance to endorse TDP candidates in their respective constituencies. If the anticipated vote transfer fails to materialize, this alliance could spell disaster for both parties.

The unfolding political developments in the wake of this announcement are eagerly awaited.

TDP, Jana Sena panel meets on manifesto

0

The TDP and Jana Sena committees met in a hotel in Vijayawada on Thursday to take stock of the situation and to discuss the combined manifesto for the two parties. TDP senior leader and state unit president K Atchennaidu led the party leaders while Jana Sena political advisory committee chairman Nadendla Manohar led the Jana Sena team.

TDP leaders Yanamala Ramakrsihnudu, Payyavula Kesav, Nimmala Ramanaidu, Pithani Satyanarayana and Tangirala Sowmya represented the TDP, while Kandula Durgesh, Kotikalapudi Govinda Rao, Bommidi Nayakar, and Palavasala Yasasvini represented the Jana Sena at the meeting.

The leaders discussed inclusion of loan waiver for the self-help group women across the state in the manifesto. However, they have not taken a decision on the issue. The subject would be placed before TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu and Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan at a later date for final decision.

The meeting also finalised a joint meeting to be held at Tadepalli Gudem on February 28. TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu and Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan would address the joint meeting. The meeting decided to intensify the campaign against the use of volunteers in the election process. The ruling YSR Congress had proposed to use the volunteers in election duty. They are getting ready to lodge a complaint with the Election Commission and request the EC to stop using the volunteers for the election duties.

Later, speaking to media persons, Atchennaidu said that the YSR Congress had destroyed all institutions in the last five years. He further alleged that chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy was planning to create violence in the state as he had realised that he was losing the election. He also said that the ruling YSR Congress leaders were attacking the media houses only due to fear of losing the battle.

While asking people to be alert during the elections and ensure that the YSR Congress is defeated, Atchennaidu said that Jagan Mohan Reddy had destroyed the name of the state at the national level. He further said that people have lost their right to speak openly on any issue in the last five years.

Jana Sena leader Manohar said that Pawan Kalyan is firm on keeping the opposition vote united. He said that the meeting had discussed everything that keeps the opposition intact. He said that they have also made an appeal to the rank and file of the two parties to work together from the grassroots.

Pawan’s Controversial Stance on Election Spending Sparks Diverse Responses

0

Since the inception of the Jana Sena party in 2014, Pawan Kalyan has been hailed as a beacon of idealism in Andhra Pradesh politics. His unwavering commitment to principles over power and his selfless dedication to the welfare of the people have garnered immense admiration despite the defeat in the elections. However, a recent statement from the Jana Sena chief has sparked debates about a perceived shift in his approach as the 2024 AP assembly elections loom.

Zero Money Politics in 2019 Elections:

Pawan Kalyan’s political journey has been defined by his refusal to compromise on his principles. He fearlessly challenged both the allies – TDP and BJP when they failed to deliver on their promises to Andhra Pradesh. His party’s ethos of zero-money politics and the inclusion of ordinary citizens as candidates in the 2019 elections set a new precedent in AP politics. Despite facing defeat, Pawan’s popularity and the support for Janasena surged, bolstered by his altruistic endeavors, including substantial contributions to distressed families of the tenant farmers. He gave almost 30 crores of his hard-earned money to the distressed families of the tenant farmers.

Recent Comment of Pawan: “Leaders should spend money”

However, as preparations for the upcoming elections intensify, Pawan Kalyan’s recent directive to party leaders regarding campaign expenditure has raised eyebrows. While addressing the leaders of his party, Pawan commented that the leaders must spend money in the upcoming elections. He added that he is not asking them to buy the votes but they need to spend money for effective campaigning.

Mixed Reactions to Pawan’s Comments:

For many admirers of Pawan Kalyan, this pragmatic approach signifies an understanding of the ground realities of politics. They believe this shift does not compromise his ideals but acknowledges the practical necessities of electoral campaigns.

Conversely, critics and skeptics perceive this as a departure from his earlier stance, questioning the integrity of his principles. Political opponents and their followers started teasing the cadres of Janasena about zero-money politics.

On the other hand, the response from neutral observers reflects a recognition of the complexities inherent in political dynamics. Some view Pawan’s evolving strategy as a calculated move to enhance Janasena’s electoral prospects in 2024, suggesting a pragmatic adaptation to the realities of contemporary politics.

Whether this shift will bolster Janasena’s fortunes or undermine its ideological foundation remains to be seen, but it undoubtedly marks a significant chapter in Pawan’s political odyssey.

Pawan declares two seats, invites YSRCP leaders

0

Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan declared two Assembly seats from which the party would contest in the coming general elections to the State Assembly. He said that he is announcing the two seats because his ally, the TDP, had announced two seats.

He said that when the two parties agreed to go in alliance, the TDP had crossed the rule by declaring two seats. He also found fault with TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh stating that his father N Chandrababu Naidu would be the chief minister. He said he took the statement easily because some sacrifices are to be made when two parties come together.

He emphasized the need to defeat Jagan Mohan Reddy in the coming elections. He said that the state would not witness any development if Jagan Mohan Reddy is elected for another term. He wanted to stop Jagan from coming back to power and had tied up with the TDP. He wanted the TDP leaders to restrain from making any statement that would harm the interests of the two parties and their alliance.

Pawan Kalyan said that the Jana Sena would contest from Rajam and Rajanagaram Assembly constituencies. He declared this during the Republic Day celebrations and said that he is ready to declare more seats if the TDP also declares their seats. He sought to advise the TDP leaders to stop declaring assembly seats when there is alliance.

When the two parties were holding talks over seat sharing it was not proper on the part of the TDP to declare its seats. He wanted the leaders to wait for the Jana Sena to accept their seats. He also wanted the TDP leaders to restrain from making any such announcement in future.

The Jana Sena chief said that he is not against any individual in the ruling YSR Congress Party. He said he is against the party but not its leaders. He wanted the YSR Congress leaders to join the Jana Sena. He welcomed the YSR Congress leaders into his party and said that he would respect the leaders as individuals.

Naidu predicts TDP-Jana Sena triumph in coming polls

0

TDP supremo, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, on Saturday expressed confidence that the TDP-Jana Sena combine will emerge victorious in the upcoming Assembly elections.

Chandrababu Naidu is of the firm belief that the countdown for the YSRCP Government has begun and asked whether the sins committed and the crimes coupled with atrocities on Dalits can be washed out if the statue of Dr BR Ambedkar is installed.

The Konaseema region which is known for peace and tranquility has been turned into a centre for violence, atrocities and riots by this YSRCP Government, Chandrababu said while addressing a massive public meeting at Mandapeta in Ambedkar Konaseema district as part of the ‘Raa Kadalira’ programme.

“The internet was disconnected for over a week in the area following clashes reflects the ground reality. Do you want to turn the peaceful Konaseema area into another Pulivendula,” Chandrababu asked and made it clear that he will certainly not allow it to happen. Stating that he has undertaken this ‘Raa Kadalira’ programme keeping in view the welfare of the State, he said that the farmers are the worst-affected in this destructive rule while ganja cultivators are flourishing.

Regretting that the youth falling victim to ganja, Chandrababu asked whether the Chief Minister has conducted at least a single review meeting on ganja smuggling in these five years. The State was on top position in the country in the aqua sector during the TDP regime but now it totally got destroyed. Immediately after the TDP-Jana Sena government is formed all necessary steps will be taken to come to the rescue of the aqua sector, he said.

Reaffirming that the coming TDP-Jana Sena government will supply power at Rs 1.50 per unit, Chandrababu promised to revive all the welfare schemes that are discontinued now besides implementing new programmes announced under ‘Babu Surety Bhavishyathu Guarantee’.

Expressing serious concern that several innocent lives are lost in the past five years due to consumption of spurious liquor, he said all the necessary corrective measures will be taken once the TDP-Jana Sena forms the coming government.

Promising to take steps for the welfare of the Backward Class (BC) communities, Chandrababu Naidu said that Ministers belonging to a particular community are encouraged to use highly objectionable language against him, TDP general secretary, Lokesh, and Jana Sena chief, Pawan Kalyan. Observing that all the sections of society are the sufferers of this dictatorial rule, Chandrababu called upon the people to join together to throw this futile Government in the Bay of Bengal.

It is the TDP that did great justice for the Dalits, Chandrababu said and mentioned how many Dalit leaders have been taken into Cabinet and how many have been given various other postings. The Kodi Katthi Seenu, for no fault of his, has been kept behind bars for the past five years while YSRCP MP, Avinash Reddy, who killed Babai (uncle) is moving freely in society, he said.

How the MLC, who killed his Dalit driver and door delivered the body can be praised, he asked. Pointing out several such incidents in which the Dalits are the victims, Chandrababu Naidu asked whether all these sins committed can be washed out if the statue of Dr BR Ambedkar is installed.

The TDP supremo expressed confidence that the TDP-Jana Sena combine is going to win all the Assembly segments in the combined East Godavari district and the countdown for the YSRCP has begun as only 81 days left for this Government.

Listing out all the welfare schemes mentioned in the ‘Babu Surety Bhavishaythu Guarantee’, he said all these programmes will be implemented in letter and spirit.

This Mandapeta YSRCP incharge has looted Rs 500 cr through sand and even forcibly occupied lands of innocent people, he said and made it clear that all such persons will have to face the music in coming days.

Minister, Chelloboyina fell at the feet of YSRCP MP, Vijaysai Reddy, thus mortgaging the prestige of the BCs, he remarked.

“If the people want a golden era for the State they should elect the TDP-Jana Sena to power and all of them should come forward to achieve this goal. I will certainly repay all your debts,” Chandrababu Naidu observed.

Jana Sena wants 50 seats, TDP offers 25

0

The alliance talks between the TDP and Jana Sens are inconclusive. The Jana Sena is asking for 50 Assembly seats and 3 Parliament seats in alliance with the TDP. However, the TDP is ready to give 25 Assembly seats and one Parliament seat.

The Jana Sena leaders are strongly lobbying for 50 Assembly seats for the party in the alliance. They believe that the party is strong with the increased strength for the coming elections. The party is strong mostly in the undivided two Godavari districts.

The party wants at least 30 Assembly seats in the two districts and is confident of winning all of them at one go. The remaining 20 seats are in Krishna, Guntur, Prakasam, Nellore and Chittoor districts. The party is not so sure about its victory in these districts but is double confident in the two undivided Godavari districts.

Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan held a long discussion with TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu a couple of weeks ago. They both discussed their joint manifesto besides sharing the seats. Sources say that Chandrababu Naidu had offered 25 Assembly seats and one parliament seat to the Jana Sena.

It is said that Pawan Kalyan had then asked for 30 Assembly seats and two parliament seats. However, after going back to the party cadre, particularly after holding interaction with the party leaders in Kakinada in the last week of December, Pawan Kalyan is said to have changed his mind on the number of seats.

He is now asking for 50 Assembly seats and three parliament seats. He is not ready to compromise anything less than what he had asked for. He is sending feelers to the TDP leaders to give as many seats as they are asking if they want the alliance to continue.

The TDP leadership is of the opinion that Pawan Kalyan cannot break the alliance at this point of time and would accept whatever the number of seats offered to him. Pawan Kalyan might hold a brief protest on the number of seats but would accept whatever is given to him, feel the TDP leaders.

The TDP leaders also feel that Jana Sena would not win more than five Assembly seats and wonder why they should be given 50 seats. “The alliance should help both the parties to win the election not to lose,” is what the TDP leaders say.

It is to be seen what number Pawan Kalyan would settle down for and what number the TDP would offer them, when the talks are held finally in the coming two weeks.
