Amaravati: JanaSena Party Chief Pawan Kalyan has finalized Konidela Naga Babu as the party’s MLC candidate under the MLA quota. As part of the alliance, JanaSena secured one MLC seat, and Pawan Kalyan chose to nominate his brother for the position. Currently serving as the JanaSena State General Secretary, Naga Babu is expected to file his nomination soon.
A statement from the party office confirmed that Pawan Kalyan has instructed the party to prepare the necessary documents for Naga Babu’s nomination.
What About Other Party Leaders?
Pawan Kalyan’s decision to give the MLC seat to his family member has sparked internal discussions. Why were senior leaders like Balineni Srinivasa Reddy and Samineni Udaya Bhanu overlooked? These leaders have worked tirelessly for the party, yet they were not considered for the MLC position.
Since JanaSena was allocated only one MLC seat in the alliance, was it fair to prioritize a family member over senior party leaders? This has led to growing discontent among the party cadre.
Criticism Over Family Politics
JanaSena has frequently criticized family-based politics in Andhra Pradesh. However, is the party now following the same path? Critics are drawing parallels between TDP’s family-based leadership and JanaSena’s latest decision.
🔹 TDP Family Politics: Chandrababu Naidu – Nara Lokesh – Daggubati Purandeswari – Bala Krishna
🔹 JanaSena Family Politics: Pawan Kalyan – Naga Babu
Previously, Pawan Kalyan had claimed that he entered politics not for his family’s benefit but to bring clean governance. However, his decision to nominate his brother for an MLC seat has raised eyebrows.
Pawan Kalyan – Chandrababu Deal: Who Benefits?
Ever since the TDP-JSP alliance was formed, questions have been raised about the terms of their political agreement. Now, with Naga Babu’s MLC nomination, many are wondering whether this move was made purely for personal benefit.
If loyal party leaders continue to be sidelined, will this create internal dissatisfaction within JanaSena? The response from key party leaders and the cadre will be crucial in the coming days. 🚨
