Pothina Mahesh, the constituency in-charge of Vijayawada West, has announced his departure from the Jana Sena Party, submitting his resignation letter to the party leadership. Mahesh’s decision has drawn criticism, particularly targeting party chief Pawan Kalyan. In response to Mahesh’s remarks, Kiran Royal, a Jana Sena Party leader from Tirupati, expressed disapproval, stating that it is inappropriate to criticize Pawan Kalyan after benefiting from positions within the party.
Kiran Royal also noted Mahesh’s expressed desire for a Tirupati ticket, which was not granted for various reasons. He advised Mahesh to either work without dissent or maintain silence, cautioning against speaking ill of the party leadership. Royal emphasized the importance of understanding Jana Sena’s principles before joining and warned Mahesh of consequences if he continued to criticize Pawan Kalyan.
