Is Pawan working at a level that can get the party on track..?
To what extent is Pawan succeeding in his efforts to instill enthusiasm in the cadre..?
It took Pawan Kalyan ten years to bring the party he founded to power. That too was possible only if he contested together with Telugu Desam and BJP. Pawan Kalyan, who founded the party before the 2014 elections, did not contest in that election. Then he contested in the 2019 elections, but did not get the right votes. He did not get the seats either. Pawan Kalyan himself contested in two places, but lost in both places. After that, an alliance was formed, partly with Pawan Kalyan’s initiative, partly with compromise. He contested in 21 seats and won in all 21 seats. This is a sensation in a way. He won 21 seats in the 2024 elections. Apart from himself, two others were given ministerial posts. So far, both have been given MLC posts. And in nominated posts, they continue to give positions to key Jana Sena leaders and those who should be given priority. All this is good. But to what extent is Pawan Kalyan thinking about the strength of the party… about strengthening the party organizationally… are there any plans related to that… the answer is no.
TDP is an institutionally strong party. After YSRCP came to power, people started working for the party at the village level. As for BJP, that party also has an institutional network. However, when it comes to Jana Sena, there is a discussion that Jana Sena does not have a large network at the level of the main parties. Already, in many villages, leaders from the Kapu community are the caretaker address of the party. Pawan Kalyan himself knows that building a party based on a caste is a very difficult task. Why is the party
It does not seem to be focusing on strengthening. Once a system is established, it is enough.. then that system will lead the party forward. But so far, there is criticism that neither the top leaders of Jana Sena.. nor the party chief Pawan Kalyan is focusing on strengthening the party across the state. They say that it is not enough to simply give nominated positions to some of the key leaders in the party.. If the Jana Sena party is to get a complete political look, it needs to act in a more planned manner.
Even now, Jana Sena is seen as a party of only the united Godavari districts. Jana Sena is unable to come forward beyond the Godavari banks. Although the Jana Sena party got one seat each in the united Srikakulam, Chittoor, Kadapa and Krishna districts in the last elections. At that time, Jana Sena candidates won because of the opposition to the YSRCP. Their own charisma.. did not win on the party flavor. That is, Pawan Kalyan has to take many steps to further strengthen the party in the districts of Uttarandhra and Rayalaseema. However, by repeatedly mentioning the problems in the tribal areas.. by frequently visiting the respective constituencies, Pawan Kalyan is trying to increase his hold in the ST constituencies.. It is impossible to say to what extent this will work out by the time of the elections. Therefore, the party should have a man at the village level.. There needs to be at least ten people in every hamlet who carry the party flag. Only then can the party be strengthened at the village level. But at present, it does not appear that Jana Sena is taking any steps in that direction.
If the party leaders including Pawan Kalyan do not focus on issues like celebrating the party’s foundation day every year or holding plenaries, strengthening the party at the field level, and strengthening it organizationally, then even if there is a 100 percent strike rate, there will be a 200 percent strike.
They say that even if the rate increases, it will not stand. And at present, it does not seem like Jana Sena is taking steps in this direction. In order to avoid being ridiculed for winning in the wind.. so that the cheque does not get blown away by the strong winds.. that is, no matter how many ups and downs the party faces, it is necessary to strengthen it to a level that political pundits believe.
