For quite some time, both Lokesh and Pawan have remained low-key. The grand old man of TDP, Chandrababu, is the only one actively campaigning for the party in this election season.
When probed into Lokesh's absence in front of the media cameras, it was explained by a source that he is busy in Hyderabad, pooling funds for the election battle.
However, there's another rumor circulating that the party's strategists have advised the high command not to bring Lokesh into the limelight at this moment.
The fear is that his presence could attract more trolls on social media, potentially harming the party's election prospects.
As for Pawan Kalyan, he is consistently engaged in meetings with Chandrababu Naidu but has not been visible in the campaign.
When probed about his absence, it was suggested that Chandrababu Naidu is intentionally keeping him away from the campaign.
The reasoning behind this decision is that Pawan's involvement in any constituency could raise the expectations of Janasena aspirants in that area for a ticket, especially since no announcements have been made yet.
Additionally, such a scenario could create confusion and apprehension among TDP leaders in those constituencies.
To avert these potential issues, Chandrababu Naidu has advised Pawan to stay away from Varahi Yatra. It's known that Pawan acts in accordance with Chandrababu's directives but never acts on his own.
