Pawan Kalyan's political success in Andhra Pradesh heavily relied on his alliance with the TDP. Without this alliance, Pawan’s chances of victory would have been slim, while TDP would still endure.
Pawan's role as Deputy Chief Minister is largely symbolic, but TDP-supporting media portrays him positively while shielding him from criticism. However, if decided, the same media can thrash him kicking him into negative light.
Janasena’s over confidence and belief that their presence is highly needed for TDP, led to missteps.
Nagababu’s statement that Pithapuram Varma wasn’t responsible for Pawan’s win and Pawan’s claim of erecting the forty year old TDP straight, caused backlash.
TDP’s social media supporters responded harshly, showing Pawan that his political success stems only from the alliance. This incident serves as a lesson for Nagababu and Pawan to avoid making statements that could embarrass the alliance.
Interestingly, the Janasena social media department, usually critical of Pawan, has remained silent this time. Despite provocation, there has been no counter-response, highlighting the power dynamics within the alliance and the need for cautious political maneuvering.
The key takeaway is that Nagababu and Pawan should never try to dominate TDP with their words, while they are in an alliance, as doing so would backfire on them.
