For a variety of reasons, actor-turned-politician Pawan Kalyan is facing the same tricky fate like that of his brother Chiranjeevi in political field. Just like Praja Rajyam Party, Pawan’s Jana Sena Party is also unable to make a stronger impact which is necessary for attracting big vote banks to win majority to form government. But it is having its own vote share which is enough to make or mar the winning chances of other parties.
Given the emerging political scenario, Pawan is not having immediate big prospects of rising as a strong alternative in AP. Moreover, there is expected to be very few chances for new regional parties once the Modi-Shah duo went ahead with their 2022 Jamili One Nation One Election. Event the existing regional parties are facing many difficulties to counter the political onslaught of the BJP as of now.
Against this backdrop, the question of Pawan likely to merge his party is coming up again and again. He is taking lot of pains to explain his commitment to political ideologies and why he will not dilute his party for narrow gains. A national party has recently approached him to merge his party. Political circles say that it is the BJP which is still keeping hopes of winning over Kapu vote bank totally. But Pawan has already committed himself to the Left parties and pro-poor secular ideals which is something against the spirit of BJP. There is the threat of Jana Senani running out of political options and becoming a marginalised force in front of bigger players.
