Telugu superstar Pawan Kalyan is all set to take his four-year-old party to the centre stage of state politics.
Four years after he launched the Jana Sena Party (JSP), Telugu superstar Pawan Kalyan is looking to manoeuvre himself into a controlling role in the politics of Andhra Pradesh. The man who charmed crowds at NDA rallies, speaking ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, is preparing to go it alone.
With less than a year before simultaneous polls to the Lok Sabha and the state assembly in 2019, 46-year-old PK has deliberately distanced himself from both the ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in the state and the BJP at the Centre. He blames both for their failure to deliver special category status (SCS) and other incentives to Andhra Pradesh. And he’s using the opportunity to be heard beyond the Kapus—his own community who comprise 27 per cent of the electorate with the power to influence outcomes in 39 of the state’s 175 assembly constituencies.
