Jana Sena party president Pawan Kalyan is contesting for the Pithapuram Assembly seat, a well-known fact.
Ground surveys indicate that the majority of non-Kapu voters in this constituency are against him and unwilling to vote for him under any circumstances. Only a significant percentage of Kapu voters are leaning towards Pawan Kalyan.
YSRCP has a strategy to defeat Pawan Kalyan in this Constituency. They are targeting Non-Kapu votes to polarize them in their advantage.
Even if 80% of Kapus vote for Pawan Kalyan, there could still be 10,000-15,000 votes for YSRCP. Additionally, if 80% of non-Kapu votes are garnered, victory will likely be on YSRCP's side. Campaigning and strategizing are underway in Pithapuram.
It remains to be seen how Pawan Kalyan counters this strategy.
Already, Kapu leaders like Mudragada Padmanabham are also sensitizing Kapu voters in this region not to vote for Pawan Kalyan, citing compelling reasons.
