Jana Sena which is promising to revolutionise politics seems to be going the way of all other political parties with internal squabbles and ‘commission culture’.
Thota Chandrasekhar who is financially strong and having the experience of having worked for two parties earlier was made General Secretary of the Jana Sena.
Unfortunately, there seems to be no respect for his words as his commands are apparently not being followed by the Party leaders and cadre.
The situation seems to have deteriorated with the entry of Nadendla Manohar into the Party as rumour is that Thota is feeling increasingly marginalized.
And then there are allegations that Party media coordinator Hari Prasad along with other Party men Riaz, Mahender Reddy and Shankar Goud took hefty commissions from a leader of a constituency near Rajahmundry.
A lot of Jana Sainiks especially are reportedly not comfortable with Hari Prasad as Mahaa Murthy (now TV5 Murthy) is a disciple of Hari Prasad and Murthy loses no opportunity in trying to smear the Jana Sainiks.
Hari Prasad is not allowing journalists, access to Pawan Kalyan and scribes from newspapers like Hindustan Times have expressed disappointment at this attitude of Hari Prasad.
There is also no cohesion between Hari Prasad and Chakravarthy and Venu, the other seniors in the media team and the social media team.
Prior to Hari Prasad, it was Marisetty Raghavaiah; the Treasurer of the Jana Sena who was the key person in the Party but Hari Prasad has completely taken over the show.
Praja Rajyam suffered a lot because of such internal squabbles. Pawan Kalyan would be well-advised not to go down the same route again.
