Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan on Sunday toured the Vizianagaram district and interacted with the people. He told them that he would stand by them and asked the people to fight against the corruption in the YSR Congress regime. He also told his party workers to fight against the government without worrying about the police cases.

The Jana Sena chief, who is currently camping in Visakhapatnam, went to Gunkalam colony to see the weaker section housing colony. He inspected the colony layout, the roads laid there, and the houses being constructed.

Pawan Kalyan said that the Jagananna Colonies being constructed in the state involved Rs 15,000 crore corruption. He asked the people to question the ruling party leaders on the massive corruption involved in the housing programme.

He took strong exception to chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy for not coming out of his house in Tadepalli. He said that the chief minister was hiding in his house, while the ruling party leaders were looting the state. He wanted the people to understand the corruption involved in every scheme.

The Jana Sena chief also criticized the ruling party leaders for misleading people in the name of three capitals. He said that the party leaders were looting the Uttarandhra region in the name of giving executive capital to Visakhapatnam.

Pawan Kalyan said that he would take care of the future of the younger generation. “Vote for the Jana Sena in the next election and give us a chance to work for the people and develop the state,” the Jana Sena chief said.

He made an appeal to the people to reject the YSR Congress leaders in the state, particularly in the Uttarandhra region. He said that the leaders from this region were amassing wealth while the people were suffering in poverty. The Uttarnadhra region too had not seen any development in the last three years, he said.

Jana Sena Party leader and actor Pawan Kalyan on Sunday condemned the arrest of his party leaders and workers for an incident at the Visakhapatnam Airport and demanded their immediate release.

He found fault with the way police handled the situation on Saturday and alleged that they showed high-handedness towards the Jana Sena leaders and workers.

The police arrested some Jana Sena leaders after stone pelting the convoys of a minister and YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leaders at the airport.

The incident occurred when the Jana Sena supporters had gathered at the airport to welcome him while minister R.K. Roja and other leaders of the ruling party were returning from Visakhapatnam after a rally in support of three state capitals.

Pawan Kalyan alleged that the police had colluded with the YSRCP government. Targeting Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, the actor alleged that the police were working under a person and saluting a person who has no respect for them.

He questioned why the police failed to solve the case relating to murder of former minister and MP Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy, the uncle of Jagan Mohan Reddy

He said in the past YSRCP leaders had stated that they had no confidence in Andhra Pradesh Police.

“Are we doing any anti-social activity,” Pawan asked while condemning the high-handed attitude of the police.

Pawan said his party acted with restraint out of respect for the police force. He alleged that those who wanted to create trouble provoked the police.

“Police do not run the state. Their duty is to maintain law and order. Jana Sena’s fight is with those who make policies and take decisions and not with the police,” he said.

He alleged that the government was trying to suppress the voice of those speaking about the people’s problems. He said the ruling party was scared as it was unable to face the people’s movement.

Pawan Kalyan also made it clear that he would not be cowed down by the threats of YSRCP ‘goondas’.

He alleged that minister Dharmana Prasad Rao had encroached on the lands of ex-servicemen. “If he has any love for the north Andhra region, he should vacate those lands,” he said.

Pawan slammed the YSRCP organising a rally in Visakhapatnam in support of three capitals. He said he can’t understand how a party which is in power can hold a rally like ‘Visakha grajana’ (Visakhapatnam’s roar) He said a man, who has all powers concentrated in his hands, is talking about the decentralisation of power

The Jana Sena leader said he had decided to visit north Andhra three months ago. “Our programme was decided much before YSRCP decided to hold a rally. We had no intention to disrupt the YSRCP’s programme.” He clarified that the ‘Jana Vani’ programme of Jana Sena is an exercise to know the people’s problems.

Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan had fixed a three-day programme in Visakhapatnam from October 15. He would be staying in the city for the three days and interact with the party leaders and activists of the Uttarandhra region.

The Jana Sena chief would also interact with the people and receive their grievances during his stay in the port city. He fixed the schedule on Monday after taking a break from his film schedule in Hyderabad.

Pawan Kalyan’s programme comes at a time when the ruling YSR Congress is sponsoring a massive procession in the city in support of the three capitals. A Joint Action Committee (JAC) was formed recently to defend the three capitals and decentralisation proposals of the government.

He would conduct Janavani programme on October 16 at Visakhapatnam and would meet people of the undivided districts of Visakhapatnam, Srikakulam and Vizianagaram. He would also interact with the people and receive their complaints against the government.

On October 17, Pawan Kalyan would meet the party activists and senior leaders from Uttarandhra. He is scheduled to focus on the allegations of land deals and destruction of Rishi Konda by the ruling party leaders.

Surprisingly, on Tuesday, he appeared on twitter again with a series of tweets on Uttarandhra particularly Visakhapatnam. He also gave a couple of counters to the decentralisation slogan of the ruling YSR Congress. He sought to advise the ruling party leaders to declare all 26 districts as States and rename Andhra Pradesh as United States of Andhra Pradesh.

In all probability, Pawan Kalyan would be hitting at the ruling YSR Congress in the next two weeks, mostly targeting them on the decentralisation and Visakhapatnam development plans of the YSR Congress.

He would also set to drag the ruling party leaders from their plans of Garjana programme scheduled for October 15. If Pawan Kalyan continues his tweets like this, it is for sure that the ruling party leaders get diverted and have to dedicate their time in countering the Jana Sena chief rather than planning the Garjna programme!

Andhra Pradesh tourism Minister R.K. Roja has dared actor and Jana Sena Party leader Pawan Kalyan to contest the elections against Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.

She alleged that Pawan Kalyan floated Jana Sena Party (JSP) for the benefit of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president N. Chandrababu Naidu.

“First you get elected as councillor and MLA and then talk about winning Assembly elections,” she told Pawan Kalyan, who claimed two days ago that JSP will sweep the next Assembly elections.

Roja, herself a former actor, launched a bitter attack on Pawan Kalyan and remarked that the film personalities were hanging their heads in shame because of his conduct.

She said people in the state were laughing at Pawan’s prediction that YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) will win only 67 seats in the 175-member Assembly in the next elections.

On JSP leader’s statement that his support to the TDP in 2014 was to safeguard the interests of the state post bifurcation, Roja alleged that the actor floated the party for the sake of TDP and its leader Chandrababu Naidu.

She alleged that Pawan Kalyan postponed his yatra because TDP general secretary and Chandrababu Naidu’s son Nara Lokesh also postponed his padyatra.

Pawan had campaigned for the TDP-BJP alliance in 2014 elections, but stayed away from contesting the polls. He later developed differences with the TDP and BJP and targeted them for failing to safeguard the state’s interests.

After severing ties with both TDP and BJP, Pawan’s party fought 2019 polls in alliance with Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and the Left parties. However, YSRCP stormed to power by winning 151 seats. JSP bagged just one seat and Pawan himself had to taste defeat from both the seats he contested.

Pawan said that the JSP contested elections in 2019 to become a strong political party in the state. “We tasted defeat in the elections, which is quite normal in politics. I am not discouraged and will not go anywhere,” he said.

Pawan, who is younger brother of megastar Chiranjeevi, once again joined hands with the BJP in 2020. He recently declared that he plans to bring all the opposition parties together to avoid division of anti-YSRCP votes in the 2024 polls.

Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan had decided to celebrate his 54th birthday in the midst of his party activists and the people of Ippatam village near Mangalagiri in Guntur district. He would join the celebrations at 10.30 in the morning on September 2.

The Jana Sena chief would also hand over a cheque of Rs 50 lakh to the village panchayat during his birthday celebrations. The money was promised to the village panchayat by Pawan Kalyan in March this year during the party’s plenary.

Pawan Kalyan had announced this contribution as the villagers have offered him their agriculture fields to hold the party plenary. The villagers have allowed the party to use their agriculture fields for the event despite the damage caused to some of their standing crops.

Having promised the funds for the village in March 2022, the Jana Sena chief is giving them the cheque in September marking his birthday. The Jana Sena chief had asked the people of the Ippatam village to visit the Jana Sena party office at Mangalagiri on the day and join the celebrations and receive the cheque.

Pawan Kalyan had also asked the party activists to attend the birthday celebrations and handing over of the Rs 50 lakh cheque to the Ippatam village panchayat.

Meanwhile, the Jana Sena party leadership is making arrangements to receive the Ippatam villagers and the party workers. The party is expecting a huge turnout of the activists from across the state to greet the party chief.

Pawan Kalyan is expected to be available for the party activists in the party office from morning to the evening on September 2, the party sources said.

“Jana Sena works to ensure YSRCP free Andhra Pradesh in the 2024 General Elections and we will work on this aspect, take decisions on it time to time from now onwards”, announced the JSP President Pawan Kalyan, while addressing a press conference on Monday at the party headquarters at Tadepalli in Guntur district. After attending the Party Political Affairs Committee meeting, he stated that the problems created by the YSRCP government in the State were too many and it couldn’t even possible to count.

At the same time, he warned the JSP leaders that he was going to create a disciplinary committee which would take stringent action on those who violate the rules. He said that he came to know that some leaders of the party were indulging in bribe activity. He also said that some leaders in the party were working for other political parties. He suggested that those who wouldn’t wish to continue in the party, it was better to leave it and join in other political parties.
He said that they would strengthen the party senior leadership.
He observed that, “Till recently, there was a belief that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would not allow TDP President Nara Chandrababu Naidu. But, what happened? They met now. We don’t know what would happen in the future”.
He said that he would take more feedback from various sections of people in September.

As a befitting reply to the failure of the YSRCP Government in extending compensation to the tenant farmers who committed suicide, Pawan Kalyan, President, Jana Sena is going to provide Rs. 1 lakh per each deceased farmer’s family members on Saturday at Siddavatam in Kadapa district. The Jana Sena Party has identified more than 170 tenant farmers who committed suicide in united Kadapa district.

The Jana Sena has been demanding the State government to honor its commitment in providing Rs. 7 lakh compensation to each farmer, who lost their lives.

Pawan Kalyan would arrive from Hyderabad to Kadapa Airport at around 12 noon on Saturday and from there he would move to Siddavatam by road. For this public meeting, the JSP leaders have been inviting their party leaders and cadre from across the Rayalaseema districts.

Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan met the bereaved family members of a tenant farmer in East Godavari district on Saturday. The Jana Sena chief reached Rajamahendravaram airport and started his tour, which was organised as part of the party’s Tenant Farmers Bharosa Yatra.

Backed by hundreds of the party activists, Pawan Kalyan went to Mandapeta, where he addressed a public meeting. He visited the family of tenant farmer, Pachimalla Shankaram who committed suicide recently. He also gave a Rs 1 lakh cheque to the bereaved family and promised to stand by them.

Speaking at the public meeting in Mandapeta, Pawan Kalyan asked the people to vote for him and his party to form the next government. He said he doesn’t know how to ask anything from the people. But wanted them to vote for him if they are convinced of his commitment to the people, to the state and to the society.

He said he had a vision for the people and the state and would certainly work hard for the development of the state and welfare of the people. He said he had been watching the people, political parties and governments ever since he started Jana Sena Party.

He said he knew about the state and the people better than anyone in today’s politics. He also said he had better commitment to the people and society than the people in power now.

“Don’t believe me blindly. Keep talking about me. Discuss about what I have been doing and telling for all these years. Vote for me and my party only if you are convinced of my worth,” Pawan Kalyan told the gathering.

“Go home safe. Think deeply and seriously about me and my party. Then make a decision. Vote for me,” Pawan Kalyan said.

He claimed that he is the only leader and Jana Sena is the only party which has commitment to the people and the state. He claimed that he had no other interests and is not corrupt till date. “I will devote all my time and energy to serve the people and develop the state,” Pawan Kalyan asserted.
