The Jana Sena is having a crucial meeting today in Vijayawada with the BJP leadership. Though the speculation is that the two parties would work together from now, it is also speculated the Jana Sena will merge with the BJP in the due course.
Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan, senior leaders Nadendla Manohar and others are representing the party while BJP will have its state president Kanna Lakshminarayana, Rajya Sabha member and national spokesman G V L Narasimha Rao and others.
The two parties are likely to have a common action plan in the State and even go for the local body elections together.
Though the Jana Sena had decided to keep off from the local body elections in Telangana, it had preliminary decided to contest the polls in AP in alliance with the BJP.
Sources say that Jana Sena chief is in favour of merging his party with the BJP, while the top leadership of the BJP too is in its favour. However, some leaders of the Jana Sena want the party to go for alliance and not merger.
Pawan Kalyan, after the humiliating defeat in the 2019 general elections, in which he was defeated in the two Assembly seats that he had contest, had made up his mind not to continue the party any further.
He realised that running a political party is not so easy, particularly in the light of the party leaders not following his directions in various districts for various reasons.
The lone Jana Sena MLA, Rapaka Varaprasada Rao, is in favour of the ruling YSR Congress, and had been supporting the Jaganmohan Reddy government’s decisions, while the party is opposing it.
In this background Pawan Kalyan is in favour of the merger and he is strongly supported by leaders like Nadendla Manohar.
