The meeting between Jana Sena Chief Pawan Kalyan and TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu has concluded.
As per sources, the discussion revolved around the distribution of seats between TDP and Jana Sena as part of the alliance.
According to reliable sources, Pawan Kalyan initially requested 30 MLA and 3 MP seats, but Chandrababu Naidu reduced the offer to 24 MLAs and 2 MPs.
Out of the 24 MLA candidates from Jana Sena, approximately 10-12 will be fielded by Chandrababu Naidu himself. This implies that TDP candidates will contest with the Jana Sena flag in some constituencies.
Given Chandrababu Naidu's history, political analysts suspect that in 4-5 seats, he might propose a friendly contest by fielding candidates from both Jana Sena and TDP, similar to what happened during his allaince with BJP in the 2014 elections.
In essence, Pawan Kalyan's responsibility seems to be limited to fielding around 5-8 candidates in the allocated constituencies, while the rest will be managed by Chandrababu Naidu himself.
We need to see how this development will be taken by Jana Sena supporters and Kapu voters.
On the other hand, an aspect that has captured the attention of many is the presence of Pawan Kalyan's wife, Anna Lezhneva, who came all the way from Singapore to attend this meeting with Chandrababu, alongside Pawan Kalyan.
