Janasena Party Vice-President Mahender Reddy was in Rajamahendravaram recently for a party meeting. In this meeting he told that Janasena is going to contest in all the seats of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in 2019. He also confirmed that Pawan Kalyan will be contesting from Anantapur district as announced earlier.
But sometime back, Janasena official twitter handler also tweeted on this matter saying Janasena will contest to all 175 seats of AP. But within minutes, the tweet was deleted for some unknown reasons. So, it was speculated that time that Pawan is not yet decided on whether to contest in all seats or to go with alliance with some party and bag only a few seats. But now with Mahender Reddy clearing the air on this topic, again there was a debate on the same. The debate is whether Janasena will stick to this or again change its stand and contest only a few seats.
Analysts think it is very common for any political party to initially announce that the party will contest in all seats so that cadre could be built across the seat. If the party which is in nascent stage announces officially that it will contest only in a few constituencies, people will be in confusion whether their constituency will have a candidate contesting from their party or not and that will make it difficult for the party to build the cadre. Moreover, all the alliances will be finalized only in last 6 to 3 months and so until then, no party can confirm how many seats they will be contesting and Janasena is also not an exception for that!!!
