Hyderabad: With an objective to leverage cadre strength in Telangana, Left parties are planning to emerge as a potential third front. However, realising on their weakness to transform the support into votes, CPI and CPM are wooing Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan to make inroads into Telangana. According to sources, both the Left parties are doing their best to get Pawan Kalyan in their stride for the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
CPM is gearing for Assembly and Lok Sabha elections in Andhra Pradesh along with Jana Sena. Along with Pawan Kalyan, CPM is organising several dharnas and public meetings demanding special category status (SCS) for AP.
Coming to CPI, which was part of Prajafront in the recent Assembly elections held in December 2018 in Telangana, the communist party doesn’t want taste the same bad experience with the Kutami and wants to forge an alliance with Pawan Kalyan, said a senior leader.
“CPI is moreover not satisfied with the functioning style of Congress and realised that it can’t match KCR charisma and strategies. Hence, it’s looking to Jana Sena,” remarked the CPI leader.
CPI also attributes the reason for the delay in seat sharing, to the dismal performance of Prajafront in Telangana as TRS had taken every advantage of this.
