Pawan Kalyan who is on the 8th day of his Srikakulam Tour has once again lashed out at the AP State Government, and CM Nara Chandrababu Naidu. In a special press meet that saw intellectuals from various sections of the society, Pawan Kalyan demanded that there should be ‘political accountability’. He went on to make stark comments on both TDP and Congress party.
‘Neither Chandrababu nor the Congress party leaders have faced humiliation. The people who are migrating are facing humiliation. In the past, many people who met me, shared their pain and agony, after they choose to migrate from their homeland, in search of livelihood.
It is because of CBN’s policies, we are facing this kind of problems. There is absolutely no ‘political accountability’ in the state. We need to go with a well-structured plan for the development of Uttharandhra, and Rayalaseema regions. Chandrababu Naidu, who developed Hyderabad, at the cost of the entire state, is doing the same mistake by developing only Amaravati’, said Pawan Kalyan.
It looks like the war of words between Pawan Kalyan and Chandrababu are likely to continue till the polls.
Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan is making his moves very strategically. Having decided to contest the 2019 elections, he had set his eyes on the safe zone, the Uttarandhra, which is dominated by less educated and more emotionally attached people. He is looking at these 35 Assembly constituencies that form part of the Uttarandhra, spread over Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam districts.
He had started his protest yatra in this part and is currently busy taking up the issues of this area. The mysterious kidney disease of Uddanam area is the most sensitive issue that he took up. He spoke for this issue earlier when he was an ally of the ruling Telugu Desam Party. Now, being a rival, he held a two-day protest for the cause and is now happy with the government responding with a package of Rs 17 crore to open 7 dialysis centers. This might take a few months for the government to establish the dialysis centers, but he had gained an upper hand on the issue and people are loving him more for the victory. He is set to be in the region for one more month.
The target is to win majority Assembly seats here instead of wasting his time touring the entire State and using his strength and resources where he could not win. The region being backward, he seems to have set his eyes on 10 Assembly seats in Srikakulam, 9 in Vizianagaram and 15 in Visakhapatnam. Except the four Assembly seats in Visakhapatnam city and the Gajuwaka and Bobbili, where people are educated and not so emotionally attached, the rest of the seats are dominated by less educated and more emotional people. It is for this reason, he is spending more of his time and energies here.
Pawan Kalyan wants to win at least 25 Assembly seats out of 35 in the Uttarandhra which would make him a king maker after the election. His focus is more on the Srikakulam, Araku and Vizianagaram Lok Sabha constituencies, where he can win majority Assembly seats and have some from Visakhapatnam and Anakapalli Lok Sabha constituencies. He is also anticipating some Assembly seats from the two Godavari districts that would put him in comfortable position in the State politics after the elections.
Pawan Kalyan who is currently in Srikakulam has set an ultimatum for the AP State Government to resolve his demands with respect to kidney victims in the district. He demanded that the government should appoint the Health Minister within 48 hours, and if it fails to do so, he would do ‘one-day’ hunger strike in Srikakulam itself.
Though AP Minister Nara Lokesh tried to explain that the government is taking necessary measures, the government itself did not respond. As stated, he began his ‘one-day’ hunger strike after the government failed to appoint the Health Minister for the Andhra Pradesh Government.
The Janasena Chief’s hunger strike attracted huge crowds from the nearby districts as well. The party’s official twitter handle posted a list of 20 demands for the Uddanam Kidney Victims.
With the recent development, the tug-of-war between TDP and Janasena has become more critical, with many feeling that Janasena might have a considerable edge in Uttharandhra region in particular.
Ram Talluri, producer of Nela ticket has given interviews to media as part of Nela ticket promotions. He answered the questions on his political aspirations as well as his association with Janasena.
Recently there has been discussion in social media that Ram Talluri is actively involved in Janasena party and especially with its social wing Shatagni. There was also discussions about his political aspirations. Ram clarified on all those questions.
Ram Talluri explained, he has been involved in movies, politics and charity since long and he has been running charitable trusts too. Pawan was impressed with charity works taken up by him and so their friendship developed. He added, “If Pawan asks for any help, I will do anything he asks for. But I am not directly associated with his party and I am currently not playing any role in his party.”
Janasena Chief Pawan Kalyan has issued an ultimatum to the Andhra Pradesh State Government. The Janasena leader is currently touring Srikakulam district in Andhra Pradesh. Addressing the problems of the kidney patients in the district, he breathed fire on Chandrababu Naidu and the state government.
‘It is shameful that we don’t even have a Health Minister. The government should immediately take measures and make sure that safe drinking water is supplied to the 7 villages that are badly affected by the kidney disease in Srikakulam. If the Government does not appoint the Health Minister within the next 48 hours, I will protest by doing hunger-strike right from here itself.
The government will be held responsible for the repercussions. Despite not being in power, I am able to respond to the problems faced by the people. And how is it possible to resolve the problems if the people sitting in the power do not respond?’ said Pawan Kalyan.
The Janasena Chief also hinted that he would take key decisions during this tour. What started as an another ‘routine’ political tour is turning out to be a focal point in AP Politics.
Janasena chief Pawan is currently touring north Andhra. It seems his tour and meetings in the Srikakulam district are huge success. He is also able to connect with fisherman community by participating in their traditional festivals and addressing their issues. Latest rumor doing rounds is whether Ichappuram ex-MLA Naresh Kumar Aggarwal is all set to join Janasena soon.
It seems former MLA of Ichappuram Naresh Kumar Aggarwal (Lalloo) has had discussions with Janesena chief during his current tour and he got positive nod from Pawan. As per the rumors, he is planning to join the party by next month but Pawan has asked him to wait for some more time.
Naresh Kumar Aggarwal was MLA for the constituency during 2004-09. He won from Congress defeating Yakambari Dakkata of TDP. Except during this 2004-09, this constituency has always been forte of TDP. Below is the list of MLAs for this constituency in the past:
1989: Krishna Rao, M.V, Telugu Desam Party
1994: Achuta Ramayya Dakkata, Telugu Desam Party
1999: Krishna Rao, M.V, Telugu Desam Party
2004: Naresh Kumar Agarwal, Indian National Congress
2009: Piriya Sairaj, Telugu Desam Party
2014: Ashok Bendalam, Telugu Desam Party
We will have to wait and see if Naresh really joins Janasena or not and if he joins he will get any advantage or not.
Janasena Chief Pawan Kalyan has turned to the introduction of basic amenities like food, education, and medical healthcare, especially to women. He highlighted the fact that, many parents are feeling it as a financial burden to educate their girl child after 16.
‘Many shared that educating their girl child, and taking care of them has become very difficult after they turn 16. Be it the lack of security for women, or the social environment, is forcing them to get their kids married at an early age’ said the Janasena Chief.
He also spoke about the lack of proper storage facilities for the fisherman community in the village. Pawan Kalyan stressed the importance of educating the people, and the society about the ways they are being exploited.
‘For decades together the political leaders have snubbed the society for their own mean means. I am here to educate today’s youth and the society for the development of the state. Janasena will work on the basic amenities, and will surely look into the ways of resolving the local problems step by step once it comes into power’, concluded Pawan Kalyan.
Despite the media announcing a war against the Janasena Chief, they were forced to cover his political Yatra, given the free fall in their TRPs. It looks like the Janasena Chief had a slight edge in recent times in the war against the media.
Kumaraswamy is forming government in Karnataka with the support of Congress Party. Even though BJP stood at first place with 104 seats, Congress at 2nd place with 78 seats, both these parties did not get the magic number required to form government. So, one of these parties must support of JDS that stood at third place with 48 seats. Now this has been discussed a lot in Telugu States and some people opine the same situation may repeat in Andhra Pradesh in the form of Pawan Kalyan’s Janasena party.
Pawan Kalyan recently stated that there will be a triangular fight in Andhra Pradesh in 2019 elections. TDP, YSRCP and Janasena will be front faces of the triangular fight and small parties like communists, Congress and BJP may form alliance with one of these three parties. Even if they don’t become part of alliance with these parties, they may not impact the final result as they do not have vote bank in Andhra Pradesh now. So , the debate is that if TDP and YSRP don’t get full majority, Pawan Kalyan Janasena party may become crucial after elections.
If we see the result of 2014, from Srikakulam to Guntur, out of 101 seats, YSRCP got only 24 seats in these 7 districts. In the remaining 6 districts, Prakasham to Anantapur, YSRCP got 42 seats, making it total to 66 seats. So, YSRCP’s weakness in this Coastal and North Andhra was fairly exposed in 2014 itself. In 2014, TDP got total of 103 seats and most of them came from this Coastal and North Andhra. Also, many people including TDP and ysrcp leaders earlier commented that this happened because of caste equations and Pawan’s support.
At this moment, not even TDP fans are predicting full majority for TDP in 2019. Even though YSRCP claiming that it will get full majority, the reality is that YSR CP is still weak in coastal Andhra and North Andhra. Even in Rayalaseema where it is said to be strong, Jagan’s party lost Nandyal seat during by elections. So people are not completely believing the claims of YSR CP. Pawan Kalyan, recently started saying he will form the government but everyone knows that at this moment he doesn’t have cadre or leaders for his party and if he becomes in king maker, that will be his biggest achievement. It is to be noted that JDS has very strong cadre, even though it is at 3rd place. Pawan doesn’t have such strong cadre, though he has support from his community and from his film fans.
There is still almost one year for Andhra Pradesh elections in 2019 and there may be several twist and turns in this one year time. So we have to wait and see if JDS like scenario will repeat in Andhra Pradesh or not. it might be difficult to predict whether this will happen or not, but it is not really difficult to guess which party will ally with Pawan if such situation arises.
Jana Sena’s social media platform “Shatagni” is very active in recent times. Especially, after Pawan vs media issue, it is Shatagni team that is putting all efforts to take the news of Janasena to people through social media. Pawan Kalyan seems to have rightly identified strength of social media and is now reaching people through social and digital platforms. Latest news is that Shatagni team is going to have a corporate Outlook soon.
A senior member from Janasena revealed to us that Janasena took two offices recently. One in Seetammadhara of Vizag and another in Vijayawada. And the third one in Hi-Tech City, Hyderabad is still under construction.
Reportedly, “Nela ticket” movie Producer and NRI Ram Talluri is funding all these. Ram is NRI and he has political ambitions. It is known news that Pawan recently attended audi function of this movie and revealed that he knows Ram since long and he came to know about Ram not as producer but as an NRI who is involved in lot of social service activities. Ram is Funding Janasena operations and majority of bus yatra also is now sponsored by him. Ram has IT company called Lead IT group in Springfield IL and he started Sky-zone trampoline park in Hyd.
As per the forensic report secured by Telugu360, it is confirmed that Pawan Kalyan tweeted a morphed video
Experts opine this is a serious legal jeopardy for Pawan, in the criminal case registered against him [ FIR 367/2018 dated 26.04.2018 Banjarahills Police Station]
If convicted of forgery under Section 469, Pawan might have to face more than 3 years of imprisonment plus fine
Copy of Forensic report has been added at the end of this article
Pawan Kalyan, the actor turned politician, has been in the news from the past couple of weeks for his Twitter rants. Pawan Kalyan lamented that Television channels have telecasted a video of Sri Reddy abusing his mother in profane language. On April 21,2018, he tweeted a video file purported to be from TV9, alleging that the channel’s unedited broadcast caused him serious grievance as the abuses were aimed for his mother.
However, TV9 has always maintained that they aired the video bleeping out the abusive word used by Sri Reddy. They also checked the archives of their footage to validate that. Sri Gundelly Rajesh, c/o Telangana union of working Journalists, has even filed a case for forgery for the purpose of cheating. After prima facie evidences, Banjarahills police had registered case on Pawan under sections 469, 504, 506 IPC
Telugu360 got access to the Forensic report comparing these two videos, which are entitled to be valid legal documents and even may stand in US court of Law as evidences. These forensic tests are administered by professional experts using complex tools and report with 100% precision.
Results from Forensic report comparing the original broadcast videos of TV9 with that of the videos tweeted by Pawan Kalyan gave startling results. Verbatim from the report:
• The Twitter video definitely has been edited. It occurs just before the raising of the middle finger by the female speaker
• When the two videos are synced up there is a minor timing discrepancy for unknown reasons
• Could also mean it has been processed with a video editing software allowing for changes to be made and making it appear as a second generation (denigrated) version of the video
• Given that there is an obvious edit in the twitter video, I am suspicious that it could have been altered for nefarious use
• I count seven microphones in the field of view. Anyone of them could have provided the audio which could have inserted the abusive word.
Given the excerpts from the forensic report, it is conclusive that Pawan Kalyan has indeed tweeted a morphed video of TV9 to apparently instigate his fans against the said channel(s). The scientifically done forensic report confirms that the video was allegedly morphed to drive an agenda.
This solicits the question as why Pawan actually tweeted a morphed video that was aired with a bleep on TV9. He tweeted multiple times ‘If I can’t defend the honor of my mother, I better die’. Given that he is emotional, shouldn’t he be doing a basic check if the video is accurate?
Janasena sources we have tried to get a comment weren’t willing to comment on-record. However, they told Telugu360 that this video was provided to Pawan from his Shatagni team and he just tweeted it. ( Article continues below ..)
Pawan’s agony is meaningful and citizens support him given the fact television channels spent hours and days allocating airtime to Kathi Mahesh and Srireddy mudsling on him. However, the video Pawan picked to fight against the channels went wrong because of poor homework done by his team and their intentional morphing. While live broadcast videos are cut as it is and hosted on youtube by TV9, the report does not tell if anything other than bleeped version was telecasted or not.
Now, where does this leave Pawan Kalyan?
Telugu360 has reached out to Satya Narayana Prasad, a senior constitutional advocate based out of Hyderabad. He said even though Pawan might not have morphed the video on his own, but the onus is on him as he tweeted the video from his account.
Police might be obligated to arrest Pawan at least on technical grounds, later release on bail as these sections are non-bailable
If the TV channels and/or Journalist unions seriously pursue this case till logical end, if convicted for forgery under Section 469, Pawan Kalyan might get more than 3 years of imprisonment plus fine. If convicted for more than 2 years of imprisonment, Election commission will be disqualifying him from contesting elections.
• Any person shall not contest in the elections if he is convicted of an offence and sentenced to imprisonment for not less than 2 years, he shall be disqualified from the date of such conviction and for a further period of 6 years since his release [ Article 102 (1) (e)] Representation of the People Act, 1951.
The way out scot-free for Pawan at this point seems to rope in his well-wishers to mediate to get rid of the case. Or as in case of the infamous vote for note, follow the leader to work it out with the rulers.
Here is a full copy of forensic report. Select parts of the report are redacted and the full report will be provided to concerned persons as needed. While this is not a government authorized forensic report but an independent investigative journalist intrigued by the allegations has took up the onus to figure it out

Janasena Chief Pawan Kalyan has once again lashed out at the media channels. In his latest tweet, he said, “What kind of ‘Nirbhaya Act’ is needed to protect ourselves from these Emotional Atyacharis?? Who run these three channels??”
His tweets have been going viral on the social media platforms. Pawan Kalyan also called for ‘TFI Aaadapaduchula Athmagourava Porati Samithi’, and stated that Veera Mahila (Janasena Women Activist Wing) will be supporting it.
In another tweet, he said, ‘why should we read and watch newspapers, and channels of those who abuse us, our mothers, and our family women?
Though Pawan Kalyan is able to gather following on his twitter, he has to realize that, there is more to do than just tweeting in this constant. Many people are casting doubts on Pawan Kalyan’s inner motives. The whole issue of ‘Casting Couch’ has been shadowed, with everything revolving around Sri Reddy’s abuse on Pawan Kalyan.
There is a bit of truth even in Pawan Kalyan’s claims. He claimed that politically-motivated attack on him by the ‘three’ media channels for the past 6 months. It will be interesting to see whether his protests will be limited to Twitter, or will be taking into the public domain?
It is known news that Pawan started tweet war on media barons like TV9 Srini Raju , TV9 Ravi Prakash and ABN Radha Krishna. Though he blamed other channels like MAHA and TV5 too, he confined his attack in twitter to TV9 and ABN. However, Pawan’s intense activity in twitter seems to have fetched him more followers in last 2 days. Janasena social wing team Shatagni released twitter statistics on these.
Last two days has witnessed a different phenomenon in Telugu states by Telugu news channel viewers. Usually most of the people who follow news in Telugu TV channels hook to TV9, NTV and TV5 as these are top 3 channels on most weeks. ABN and Sakshi also followed by some sections of people. However, last 2 days people who wanted to get latest news on what’s happening in Film chamber and what Pawan is tweeting through TV channels were disappointed as leading channels like TV9, TV5 , ABN ignored this news. If it weren’t the issue with media, these channels would have given live updates every minute. Even other channels also did not give extensive coverage and maintained sort of restraint in their presentation.
All this led to people shifting to twitter to get to know the news from horse mouth itself. This immensely helped Pawan’s twitter account grow and it is evident in the statistics screen shot released by Janasena social media team Shatagni . They released the statistics of Fastest growing Twitter profiles in which it is shown Pawan’s profile has 37,608 followers added while Modi’s profile grown by 22,579 followers and Virat, Sachin, Salman’s profile grown by 20k followers.
However, it is also to be noted- Pawan’s account grown by 37k followers on the day when there was intense activity in that account where as other accounts grown when no or minimal activity was there in their accounts.
Pawan’s tweet war on media heads is still going on. It started with Pawan accusing TV9 owner Srini Raju, TV9 CEO Lokesh, RGV, Lokesh’s friend Rajesh and Lokesh colluding to malign Pawan’s image and damage Janasena prospects. The so called tweet war started on very high note as it was started with attacking none other than Srini Raju, one of the biggest investors in Telugu states and the number one channel TV9.
However, it seems Pawan’s tweet war is also losing steam gradually now. Though it stared with sensational tweets that had several serious allegations,that made people expect some startling revelations, what followed and flowed through Pawan’s twitter were one old video and another old photo that people who follow social media watched already long back. While people are expecting Pawan to reveal some proofs regarding his allegations or at least some proofs that expose double standards of these media barons, what Pawan served them is some sarcastic comments, one old video and one old photo which people (at least those who follow social media) already know.
It is as if people went to theaters to watch a new and engaging story and the movie had the story that people had seen umpteen times already. No prizes for guessing the fate of such movie. So, if Pawan wants to sustain his war or he wants people in his war he should confine his tweets specifically to disclose the conspiracy made on him (if any) and show proofs for that or at least the evidences that made him believe that.
Actor-politician Pawan Kalyan on Saturday called for giving harsh punishment publicly to rapists, saying the gang rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua has deeply disturbed him.
Addressing members of women’s wing of his Jana Sena party, students and youth at the party office here, he said the incident shows that man was behaving worse than an animal.
“The eve teasers who stalk women and rape them should be punished publicly. Then only it will instill fear. We should follow Singapore in awarding the punishment,” he said.
Pawan said Kathua was not the first incident, regretting that the “system” gets into some action only an incident takes place. He noted that Nirbahaya law was enacted after a rape incident in Delhi.
“Will the MPs react only when something happens before their eyes,” asked Pawan, younger brother of super star and Congress leader Chiranjeevi.
The Jana Sena also organized a silent protest at Indira Gandhi statue on Necklace Road here, to demand stringent laws be made to protect women and give harsher punishment to the culprits.
“The law acts tough in dealing with the weak and acts weak in dealing with the powerful. We will fight to bring a change in this attitude,” the Jana Sena leader said.A
Pawan said whenever such incidents take place, the media should avoid creating sensation and instead behave in a manner which bring social awareness.
The actor did not agree with the view of some people that crimes against women have increased due to the influence of films. “Was the rape and murder of minor girl in Katuha was inspired by cinema and artistes”” he asked.
“As a brother, I know how difficult it is to protect girls when they go out. A situation has come where parents live in fear till their daughters return home safely.”
Narrating an incident that took place few years ago during shooting of a film, he said that some people harassed girls in the presence of 200 members of the film unit and claimed that he had to come forward to protect those girls.
A new trend in AP politics might be emerging soon, especially in criticizing opposition parties. After YSRCP Chief YS Jagan lashed out at Pawan Kalyan and Janasena party, the Janasena party has remained silent without retaliating with immediate effect. While many thought, it is by choice Janasena kept quite. But shocking everyone, Janasena came out with a well-directed attack.
In a press meet, Janasena leaders stripped YS Jagan and his Padayatra. ‘More than 40,000 people joined our leader’s Padayatra. Only after our leader Pawan Kalyan announced the Padayatra, CBN came up with Cycle Yatra. Our leader has always been in the public, while YS Jagan is not even bothered to attend the assembly.
While the YSRCP and TDP leaders are scared of the Centre, given their involvement in various cases. Janasena will be with anyone who is fighting for the SCS cause’, said the Janasena leader.
At the same time, Janasena ensured that it also acknowledges the efforts of the YSRCP & TDP MPs in Delhi. ‘We express our solidarity to the YSRCP MPs who sat for indefinite fast, and to TDP MPs who protested outside the PM’s resident’.Janasena leaders Mahendar Reddy (Vice-President), Addepalli Sridhar and Parthasaradhi took part in the press meet.
The Stylish Star Allu Arjun has been quite tight lipped about his uncle Pawan Kalyan’s entry into politics and Janasena party till date but finally he had to say what’s on his mind about the topic. During a popular interview for a daily, the actor was asked why he has never given open support to the party like his cousins Sai Dharam Tej and Varun Tej.
Bunny on the other hand has given quite diplomatic and level headed answer which might keep the fans even more in confusion! He said that in order to give a stand , he needs to know about Chiranjeevi’s political ideologies. However, Chiranjeevi has been on a detour with film comeback and Bunny clarified saying he would only follow the path of Megastar in political front. Does this mean he is turning against Pawan Kalyan? Or his loyalty towards Chiranjeevi is overshadowing it?
The actor also responded on the divide which has been coming among Mega family fans and said that such small issues are common for any hero fan groups. He specifically mentioned that Mega family is quite huge and every hero has their own following and admiration.
All in all, Allu Arjun’s reaction to Janasena is quite open minded and at the same time he has given the responsibility to Chiranjeevi- the front runner of Mega family!
It is known news that today almost all parties doing their agitations on Special category status fight. While TDP started bicycle rally in the morning, Pawan and communists started padayatra around 10 am and YSRCP MPs will start hunger strike later in the day. TV channels are covering all these incidents along with Lok sabha live. During all this, AP24X7 channel made some critical but indirect comments on leading media channels regarding Pawan’s Padayatra.
Pawan’s padayatra started around 10 am and all major channels showed the foot march program being started and later turned to other news and events. So obviously there was no LIVE coverage of Pawan’s padayatra in leading channels. AP24X7 cashed on this as it was the only channel who telecast the entire event LIVE. In fact they carried “EXCLUSIVE” water mark on the live coverage footage. One of the presenter from the channel even made critical comments that – “Though most of the channels say we treat all the parties equal and cover all of them equal, they didn’t cover Pawan’s padayatra fully maybe because they are biased. Most of the channels giving extensive coverage to Chandra Babu’s cycle rally and ignoring Pawan’s padayatra. It is only our channel who telecast entire event live in unbiased manner”. The channel also added, this event is just a teaser on how much crowd mobilizes if Pawan Kalyan comes on to roads and definitely this teaser is good hints on how big success will Pawan’s future events will be.
However, some disagree with AP24X7 channel’s argument. It is known news that recently Pawan went to that channel and launched the mobile app of the channel. If we consider that, this coverage is seen as token of gratitude from the channel to Pawan as AP24X7 focused only on Pawan and ignored demonstrations of other parties during that time. Also if the channel is unbiased, they should have covered all the parties equally instead of focusing on Pawan alone, they say.
Anyway one thing is for sure – Pawan did not enjoy the “Solo LIVE coverage of him on all channels” that he used to enjoy until a month back. Though some say it is because of bias of some TV channels, others say it is because – now all the parties doing intense activities as the elections approaching fast and so the channels have to cover the news and events of all the parties. Moreover, though these channels could not cover Pawan’s tour live, they gave good coverage later.
For the first time in the last four years, Janasena Chief Pawan Kalyan has come on to the roads. As stated in his Kakinada Sabha, Pawan Kalyan organized the Padayatra, protesting the Centre’s decision of not granting the SCS to Andhra Pradesh. The Padayatra started from Benz Circle, Vijayawada, and continued up to Ramavarappadu Junction, covering a distance of about 3km.
Communist party leaders also joined Pawan Kalyan, once again extending their support, and publicizing their alliance in the fight against the Center. It did not take long for thousands of Janasena followers and supporters to follow the footsteps of their leader.
Pawan Kalyan visited the Ambedkar’s Status near Thummulapalli Kalakshetram and paid his respects to BR Ambedkar. From there he left to the Benz Circle. The Padayatra commenced at around 10:30 am in the morning and ended at 11:40 am.
With CBN’s TDP Cycle Yatra from Venkatapalem to AP Secretariat, and Pawan Kalyan’s Padayatra from Benz Circle to Ramavarappadu Junction, the political heat has moved from AC office cabins to the roads.
It is known news that former CBI director and IPS officer V V Lakshminarayana recently sought voluntary retirement from service, most probably to join politics. While most of the parties predicting him to join BJP or Janasena, leading English daily ran a completely different story saying Lakshmi Narayana is actually coming into politics to actually counter Pawan’s effect.
The leading English daily wrote, there have been hectic back room negotiations over the past few months and he is being prepped up to take on Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan. It also added that, Speculations are rife that TDP could be behind Lakshminarayana’s possible move of floating his own party.As per the story, though he is no match to Pawan Kalyan’s popularity, Lakshmi Narayana does enjoy a decent following among sections of people who see him as an anti-corruption crusader. Moreover he is also from Kapu community. So, if it materializes, his new party will definitely get votes from youth and Kapus.
Though this story in national daily opened up new dimension to the topic, we have to wait and see if there is any truth in the story
It is known news that Janasena’s unofficial spokes person Kalyan Dileep Sunkara had a rift with some leaders in party and made sensational comments on party.
https://www.telugu360.com/te/kalyan-dileep-sunkara-exits-jana-sena/ . He also told he would quit the party if the similar situations continue. His scathing remarks on some Janasena leaders were widely circulated in social media. Some mainstream media also covered the same. However, as per the reports, his issue seems to have been fixed by Janasena. Details as below.
After Pawan announced official spokes persons for the party, Kalyan Dileep raised red flag saying the persons like him, who worked hard were neglected. He also made scathing comments against Janasena PRO, alleging that this PRO is calling media channels and asking them not to invite Kalyan Dileep for any debates. Janasena fans were terribly disappointed by this developments as all these remind them of PRP days. Some of the fans even made verbal attack on Kalyan Dileep for all this fuss he made. However, now things seem to have been put in order, as Kalyan Dileep posted that all the issues have been now sorted out. He told, he was advised by bigwigs of Janasena (by Pawan?) not to focus too much on scathing comments made in social media and not to bother to react on everything that is happening in social media. It seems the same bigwigs also assured him of good recognition in the party soon.
Elated with this response, Kalyan Dileep posted that he will erase what happened in last 2 weeks from his memory and will work for party sincerely.
