Jana Senani Pawan Kalyan is expressing his impatience at the persistent efforts being made by a major political party for the merger of Jana Sena. He has discussed this with party leaders from the Vijayawada parliamentary constituency today. Senani has once again asserted that there is no question of winding up and merging his party.

Pawan has told his party leaders that he will continue his party in the larger interests of the people. He asserted that Jana Sena will continue to stand for values, national integration and social justice.

The reason for Senani’s repeated clarification is that some party leaders are trying to convince him about the party merger. Pawan has set the record straight that come what may, he will continue his party against any odds. He told his party leaders that he knows his strengths as well as his weaknesses. There’s no question of going back on the Jana Sena mission.

These days, Pawan Kalyan doesn’t conclude any speech without elaborately explaining why he would not shut down or merge his party. He is giving long clarifications to Jana Sainiks how his party is different from Praja Rajyam Party. Senani is going on asserting that from one MLA in the Assembly, his party will grow in strength to capture the entire House in future. He asserts that he is not depressed by the electoral disaster nor will he ever be shattered by defeat.

During his current visit to flood-hit West Godavari also, Pawan went on delivering speeches on his commitment to continue his party even if he got support of one single Sainik. Is he talking from the strength of a confidence? or is he trying to put confidence in the party cadres in the face of mounting confusion and doubts within the party?

Whatever his intention, the Jana Sainiks are left a worried lot by their leader’s apologetic speeches. Analysts say that there are only three sections of followers for Pawan. They are his die-hard fans, part of his Kapu community and some aspiring career politicians. Despite his charisma, Jana Sena could get just 6 per cent vote share in the very first election it contested. Many Jana Sena leaders are having doubts over the party’s political future if it goes alone. They have advised Senani to think of a merger but Pawan is sticking to his ideology and his commitment never to allow Jana Sena to meet PRP fate. A really tough time to face for Senani and Sainiks as well.

Jana Senani Pawan Kalyan has ruled out the possibility of ever merging his party with the Bharatiya Janata Party or any other party. If he had become an MP during Praja Rajyam Party time, he would have prevented the merger of PRP with the Congress party. Pawan asserted that the merger of Jana Sena would not happen even after his death. The defeat in elections has not discouraged the Jana Sainiks who are still with me and who are strongly believing in my leadership, he added.
During his visit to the Godavari districts, Jana Sainiks in large numbers accompanied Senani which has given him redoubled confidence. The defeat is temporary and the victory will come ultimately whether it takes a decade or so. Pawan’s statements have enthused the party workers.

Pawan has also asserted that the victory of YCP could be possible only because of the Jana Sena contesting the elections separately. The same spirit would continue and there would be no question of diluting the party ideology. Pawan asserted that he was inspired by the teachings of socialist thinkers and revolutionaries. This is why nothing will make him deviate from his path in the political field.
