PK playing a dangerous game, but is he really smart?

Pawan Kalyan seems to be playing a dangerous game with the people of Andhra Pradesh. He is also playing a game with Prime Minister Modi and with TDP Chief Chandrababu Naidu. 

However he needs to realize that he is politically a novice guy who doesn’t stand a chance against PM Modi who has over 5 decades of political experience (most of which being in power), while Chandrababu Naidu is a shrewd politician who can do anything to gain and remain in power.

If we see the picture in a bit more detail, Pawan Kalyan is assuming that Jana Sena backed TDP will come into power, while YSRCP will lose power. 

He will then give an impression that he is not interested in the CM position. This is where BJP will come into picture and try to split the bonhomie between TDP and Jana Sena by going to any extreme extent of pulling power down of TDP with few to considerable legislators supporting Jana Sena and will try to make Pawan Kalyan the CM candidate.

This is exactly what happened in Maharastra, when the Shiv Sena was split and Eknath Shinde was made the CM with the help of BJP.

But a shrewd politician that Chandrababu Naidu is, if they really win the elections, Babu will lose no time in pulling the Jana Sena legislators into his fold, similar to how he did with YSRCP legislators.

The other option is TDP getting an absolute majority in the floor house, in such case he will deploy the same method of weakening the Jana Sena party by giving one or two insignificant positions in the cabinet which in turn will build frustration in the Jana Sena party and will force them to separate with the TDP party.

With such turn of events, Pawan Kalyan will be a lost man, like a child lost in an exhibition and will return to what he claims to do best, acting!

All these events can only unfold, should YSRCP lose the election fight, which seems extremely unlikely with so many pre poll surveys declaring YSRCP is sure to return to power.
