This news has sent shockwaves through political circles, the media, and even among Janasainiks.
All these days, many assumed that Pawan Kalyan had direct access and rapport with Amit Shah or Narendra Modi, but this is far from the truth.
Pawan Kalyan and Nadendla Manohar rely on a mediator to facilitate communication with the central authorities, and this mediator happens to be BL Santosh from Karnataka, who serves as the General Secretary of the party.
BL Santosh also carries the distinction of being the BJP's Chief Ministerial candidate in Karnataka.
The BJP leadership at the center has specifically tasked BL Santosh with handling any matters related to Pawan Kalyan. This arrangement has been in place for quite some time.
During this period, Pawan Kalyan has been subtly indicating to BL Santosh that his preference was to forge a tripartite alliance involving the BJP, Janasena, and TDP. However, in the event that only two parties could be accommodated by the central leadership, he would align with the BJP and exclude the TDP.
Over the years, BL Santosh faithfully conveyed Pawan Kalyan's sentiments to the BJP high command.
However, all of a sudden, Pawan Kalyan's visit to Chandrababu Naidu in prison on the second day of Naidu's arrest resulted in the announcement of an alliance with the TDP. This unexpected development left the BJP high command furious, and they urgently summoned BL Santosh to inquire about the information he had been relaying over the years and what Pawan had just declared.
BL Santosh was equally taken aback by this sudden turn of events and tried to clarify that he had been faithfully communicating Pawan's intentions without any manipulation.
In response, the BJP high command instructed BL Santosh to stop communication with Pawan Kalyan for making a political announcement without consulting them.
As a result, communication between BL Santosh and Pawan Kalyan has been cut off, which explains Pawan Kalyan's subsequent silence after the alliance announcement.
Currently, Pawan has no alternative but to proceed with his alliance with TDP.
However, it is worth noting that a highly credible source suggests that severe action is imminent against Pawan Kalyan, which will come as a complete shock and challenge for both him and his party.
This source indicates that the BJP views Pawan Kalyan's announcement as akin to the betrayal they experienced from CBN just before the 2019 elections and so wish to teach him a lesson before the elections itself.
