Pawan KJalyan: Dissatisfied with Janasena tour of districts. Growing unrest within the Jana Sena party has surfaced as activists openly express disappointment over Pawan Kalyan’s infrequent visits to district areas, especially in Rayalaseema. Many Jana Sainiks feel the party chief remains distant from grassroots issues, visiting only during elections.
The discontent is most visible in Rayalaseema, where Pawan Kalyan commands a strong fan base and community vote bank. Despite this, he has not toured the region in over two years. Activists claim that priority is being given to the Godavari districts, while others are neglected. After election visits, the lack of follow-up has deepened the sense of separation between the party and its supporters.
Some district-level committees recently formed by Jana Sena have faced allegations of poor leadership. In a few meetings, tensions escalated into arguments. Party workers believe that if Pawan Kalyan had personally listened to local issues, the situation would not have become so serious. The cancellation of election campaigns in Nellore and Prakasam districts is attributed to such internal conflicts.
Comparisons with alliance partner TDP are also fueling frustration. Activists note that Chandrababu Naidu regularly holds alliance meetings across constituencies, listening to party workers. In contrast, Pawan Kalyan is criticized for staying away from most districts, except East Godavari and agency areas. Some even question his focus on Telangana party formation while neglecting Andhra Pradesh.
Pawan KJalyan’s absence from district tours is now a major topic within the party. If local body elections are to gain priority, workers insist Pawan must show presence in all districts. The growing dissatisfaction among Jana Sena ranks signals internal impatience that could affect the party’s future.
