How can Pawan Kalyan lead his Jana Sena Party to face election without huge amounts of money? No, cash is not needed because Pawan wants to wait and play a fair political game rather than aiming at instant power. He has no confusion regarding this and he has said this when his friends asked him how his party can cope with election when other parties are preparing to spend Rs. 2,000 crore each.

The issue figured in Pawan’s interaction with the Jana Sena leaders from Prakasam district. Interestingly, this is the time now for Jaganmohan Reddy’s YCP has decided to put wealthy industrialist Maddisetti Venugopal in Darsi assembly segment in Prakasam district. But Pawan has told his party leaders he will not go by money or muscle politics but 60 per cent of Jana Sena candidates will be freshers who are really interested in public service.

Pawan continued his philosophical speech, telling Jana Sena cadres that it will take not less than 25 years for anybody to make a difference in public service. He said his brother Chiranjeevi’s Praja Rajyam Party was crushed because of leaders who wanted instant benefits and political power without responsibility. Had there been good and genuine leaders, Praja Rajyam would have succeeded in bringing social justice by now, Pawan asserted.
