Raju Ravitej worked close with Pawan Kalyan and was the one who helped for the construction of Janasena in 2014. He happened to be the first General Secretary of the party and created the party ideology. He then worked as a member of Politburo. Raju Ravitej said that he reluctantly agreed to be upon his insistence. He issued a statement that he will not work with Pawan Kalyan or associate with him in the future.

“Pawan Kalyan turned into a dangerous divisive force driven by vindictiveness and caste, religious hate. He should never be allowed to occupy office of political or social power” said his statement.
