As a part-time politician, he said the Jana Sena was only to question the establishment. Of course, the only Party he has been questioning since then is YSRCP.
Now, after deciding to contest the election, Pawan Kalyan’s goal has changed from questioning the establishment to ‘becoming the Chief Minister’.
While there is nothing wrong in that goal, the people actually are preoccupied with a more interesting topic: “In how many seats will the Jana Sena get its deposit back?”
Besides, Pawan Kalyan himself is contesting from Bhimavaram and Gajuwaka. Bhimavaram is not unlike Vijayawada.
In Vijayawada, the Kammas had the money and the Kapus had the majority. In Bhimavaram, we merely substitute the Kammas with the Rajus and they will definitely not endorse Pawan Kalyan, especially given the recent fan wars between Prabhas and Pawan Kalyan Fans’ associations.
In order to salvage his reputation, Pawan must definitely win from either Bhimavaram or Gajuwaka failing which, it could be the curtains on Jana Sena and a journey back to the film studios in Hyderabad.
