Pawan Kalyan is becoming CBN's next KCR.
In Andhra Pradesh, the question of partnerships is becoming increasingly contentious. President of the Janasena Pawan Kalyan has chosen to attend the NDA partners meeting in Delhi on July 18 after announcing his first candidate in Tanuku.
Both of these rulings have been met with scepticism in AP political circles. Tanuku is a safe district for the TDP, and Arimilli Radhakrishna is a formidable candidate.
The most recent Aatma Sakshi poll showed that TDP had a commanding lead of 5% over YSR Congress, with Janasena trailing at a mere 9%. Declaring a candidacy for such a position is against the alliance's spirit.
In addition, Pawan Kalyan has signalled his intention to run for the seats held by the TDP, where he promises to do as much damage as the TRS did in 2009.
In addition, Pawan Kalyan's unreliability is further demonstrated by the fact that he attended the NDA partners meeting despite the BJP's stated opposition to a United Opposition.
The alliance's opponents within the TDP, who have been staunchly opposed from the beginning, have gained strength again due to Pawan Kalyan's actions.
Time is of the essence, and Chandrababu must make a decision.
