Janasena party president Pawan Kalyan hasn’t yet announced where he will contest in the upcoming elections. While many expected that he would once again choose Bhimavaram, Pawan threw a surprise by not disclosing his seat in the first list. This led to numerous speculations that he will move away from Bhimavaram to Pithapuram this time due to various reasons as ascertained by the survey reports.
There is also a talk that Pawan Kalyan is likely to contest as Kakinada MP as well. The ruling party leaders criticized the Janasenani for running away from Bhimavaram in the fear of losing against Grandhi Srinivas. They slammed that Pawan wants to choose Pithapuram because of the larger concentration of the Kapu community than Bhimavaram. But, Pawan Kalyan and Janasena maintained silence over his seat.
While the uncertainty over Pawan Kalyan’s seat continues, former MLA of Bhimavaram from TDP, Pulaparthi Ramanajaneyulu joined the Janasena party in Amaravati on Tuesday. This development lent more credence to the talk that Ramanajaneyulu will be fielded as Janasena candidate from Bhimavaram this time.
Surprisingly, Ramanajaneyulu himself stated that he is not contesting from Bhimavaram. He revealed that Pawan Kalyan will only contest from Bhimavaram again in these elections and promised to work for his victory.
Though Pawan Kalyan initially thought of changing his place due to political reasons, he seems to have changed his mind and decided to win from the same place where he lost in 2019. He launched a scathing attack on the sitting MLA Grandhi Srinivas and made critical remarks on his atrocities in the last five years.
Pawan vowed not to leave Bhimavaram and asserted that he wants to wipe out both the local MLA and YS Jagan from power in the upcoming elections. Pawan also defended his decision to settle with only 21 seats in alliance with the BJP and the TDP. He once again asserted that the embarrassing result in the 2019 elections continues to influence his decisions.
