The meeting between Chandrababu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan has become a topic of discussion. TDP and Jana Sena are in alliance, so it is not surprising that the leaders of the two parties are meeting. However, it is noteworthy that this time Chandrababu went to Pawan's house, which is a changeover from the usual practice where Pawan visited Chandrababu's house.
The leaders of both parties have come to a conclusion that there should be clarity on the seats for Sankranti.
On the other hand, YCP leader and Chief Minister YS Jagan are displaying aggression in the selection of candidates. Jagan does not hesitate to change candidates wherever he perceives they are not performing well in the surveys. There is speculation that Chandrababu might not be as decisive as Jagan in making such bold decisions.
The real reason behind Babu's meeting with Pawan is different. Many suggest that it is an eye wash meeting by Pawan and Chandrababu to please the members of Jana Sena. Chandrababu is actively working on his candidates and aims to provide clarity on the candidates contesting in almost all constituencies by the end of this month.
However, Chandrababu has no intention of deciding Jana Sena seats as part of the alliance. While TDP candidates are actively engaged at the field level, Jana Sena leaders are seemingly playing the role of spectators, acting as if there is no clarity on the ticket issue. This has led to opposition against Pawan Kalyan within his own party, with some in Jana Sena perceiving their leader as facilitating Chandrababu's bid for Chief Minister, as alleged by the YCP.
Jana Sena leaders insist on clarity regarding the number and distribution of seats before they can collaborate with TDP. In recent times, Jana Sena has not been conducting programs in collaboration with TDP. Pawan realized that doubts are arising in his cadre regarding seat allocations at the field level, and he shared his concerns with Chandrababu during their meeting.
Pawan Kalyan suggested that, to gain confidence among his party ranks, Chandrababu should come closer to their concerns and make a public display as discussed. Responding to the meeting, Nadendla Manohar stated that the discussions went satisfactorily. However, political analysts criticize the move, suggesting that it is a tactic to pacify the ranks of the Jana Sena.
Leaders of the Jana Sena emphasize that they will only be satisfied if they are allocated not less than 40 seats. Contrary to this, it is reported that Chandrababu has a different idea.
TDP cadres claim that Chandrababu has already communicated his thoughts to Pawan. TDP leaders assert that Chandrababu and Lokesh have given the green signal to allocate tickets to all ten important leaders, along with Pawan and Nadendla Manohar. They state that Pawan has agreed to this, understanding that there are not enough leaders to contest on behalf of the Jana Sena.
In essence, Chandrababu's meeting with Pawan was primarily to appease Jana Sena leaders and workers, and no substantial new discussions took place.
