Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan had given a serious warning to the ruling Telugu Desam Party leaders on attacking him. “You will not be able to move on the roads if you don’t stop attributing motives to me. My Jana Sainiks would seal your future if you continue like this,” was all that Pawan Kalyan had told the TDP leaders.

Intensifying his attack on the corruption and failures of the TDP government in the State in the last four years, Jana Sena chief is addressing the people at various places and at every meeting Pawan Kalyan is hitting the TDP leaders hard. He went strong and hard against the government for spending Rs 13 crore in the name of Nava Nirmana Deeksha where the Chief Minister makes political speeches. “The government should have spent this money to provide drinking water to the people or health care to the kidney disease victims of Uddanam area,” he felt.

Focusing more on the Uttarandhra, Pawan Kalyan is targeting the TDP and YSR Congress leaders from this region holding them responsible for the backwardness. Ashok Gajapathi Raju and Atchanniadu from the TDP and Botsa Satyanarayana from the YSR Congress are his targets since he started his tour in the region on May 20. “The leaders from this region have grown big over the years. They are rich and developed too. But the people and the region remained backward. They are responsible for this backwardness,” was the scathing attack that Pawan made on these leaders.

Interestingly, Pawan Kalyan is not sparing Nara Lokesh wherever he addressed a meeting. There were instances where he did not mention the name of Chandrababu Naidu but referred to Lokesh accusing him of indulging in high corruption. Sometimes it looks like Pawan Kalyan is targeting Lokesh more than anyone indicating that he is intending to seal the young Minister’s future.

Many political analysts overlooked Pawan Kalyan’s Janasena party until very recently, tagging it as a Pro-TDP, and Pro-BJP party. Things completely took a U-turn after the ‘Janasena Aavirbha Sabha’, held on March 14 2018. What seemed like a pro-TDP party, became the most anti-TDP party in a matter of hours.

No wonder the Telugu News Channels dubbed Janasenani as the greatest threat to CBN’s CM chair in the upcoming elections. Similarly, Janasena party maintained silence when Senior TDP MP, and former Central Cabinet Minister Ashoka Gajapathi Raju claimed that he has no idea who is Pawan Kalyan.

The same thing has been brought to light in the ongoing Srikakulam Tour of Pawan Kalyan. The Janasenani reminded that he went for campaigning for Ashoka Gajapathi Raju in 2014 Lok Sabha Elections to Vizianagaram, after the latter requested. TDP leaders are giving enough opportunities for Pawan Kalyan to target. Meanwhile, Janasena is using the ‘baseless comments’ by TDP leaders against them.

At the same time, Janasena representatives are shedding light on the happening things in the state, rather than indulging in hypothetical claims, and baseless allegations. Janasena is cleverly deploying its statements across social media. The sarcastic jibes taken by Pawan at CBN, Lokesh, and TDP, is circulating widely on YouTube, and social media.

It won’t be long before the Telugu TV News Channels start focusing on Janasenani, given the TRP he brings.

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.

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.
