Jana Sena workers are expressing anguish that BJP has taken their chief Pawan Kalyan for granted. They added that BJP has insulted Pawan again. The reason for this is the candidate for Tirupati bypoll.
Jana Sena members are disappointed that though they claim all decisions are taken collectively, BJP’s actions are conveying something else.
Jana Sena is alleging that BJP is not following the alliance protocol rightly and proof to that is BJP’s announcement of Tirupati bypoll candidate yesterday.
BJP’s state chief Somu Veerraju announcing independently that BJP candidate will contest goes to show that Pawan Kalyan was not taken into consideration at all. This is the main anguish of Jana Sena leaders and activists.
BJP convened its state meeting and Shoba Yatra in Tirupati on Saturday. During that, Veerraju announced a BJP candidate will contest for the bypoll taking Jana Sena’s support. He added that everyone should vote only for the candidate being supported by Jana Sena.
During the previous state meeting, Union Minister and incharge Muralidharan said the day is not far when BJP will come into power in AP. He added that BJP will show its strength in Tirupati bypoll under the leadership of Somu Veerraju. With this action, it is clear that BJP has already come to a decision.
Jana Sena members are now questioning what is the use of doing the drama of having a committee for appointing a candidate? They are miffed that BJP’s actions are an insult to their chief Pawan Kalyan. They also reminded that during GHMC elections BJP MP Aravind also belittled Pawan.
They are also disappointed that the senior leaders of BJP didn’t condemn the statement given by Aravind that Pawan Kalyan himself volunteered to support BJP during the GHMC polls without them asking.
Despite all these protests, BJP command doesn’t seem to be interested. However, they stated that a preliminary discussion took place with Pawan Kalyan and announced the candidate’s name after party parliamentary board’s approval.
