For the last five years, Konatala Ramakrishna remained almost politically unknown and did not exhibit much activity due to age and health.
The fact that Janasena chief Pawan suddenly met Konatala and invited him into the party surprised many people. Where did this connection lead?
Moreover, there is no TDP connection in this. Konatala's entire political journey was with Congress and YSR Congress.
Konatala Ramakrishna's name first came to Pawan's attention during the movie "Bro."
The director, Chinnikrishna, worked as an associate of Trivikram for that movie. Chinni Krishna is a very close relative of Konatala Ramakrishna. Trivikram came to know about this and eventually Pawan also learned about it through him.
Chinni Krishna became very close to Trivikram during the movie "Bro". Trivikram, recognizing this, assigned key responsibilities to Chinni Krishna in People's Media.
Sources say that Chinni Krishna might have requested Trivikram to see that Konatala gets a ticket from Janasena.
Trivikram used to draw Pawan's attention to discussions about Konatala. It was also shared to him that Jagan is angry with Konatala as he resulted in the defeat of his mother Vijayamma in Visakha earlier.
It can be assumed that Pawan took Konatala under his wing because he likes those who are not aligned with Jagan. Trivikram's recommendation may also have played a role. After a gap of five years, Konatala finally stepped into the limelight.
Thus Trivikram is the indirect force behind Konatala joining Janasena.
