Pawan Kalyan, leader of the Jana Sena Party, may soon consider a merger with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as he shifts his focus toward national politics? This speculation gains traction amid reports that Chandrababu Naidu plans to position his son, Lokesh Naidu, as the next Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.
Adding to the speculation is the noticeable lack of togetherness between Chandrababu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan at recent state events, suggesting a growing rift. Meanwhile, Pawan Kalyan has increasingly been vocal about issues like Sanatana Dharma, often targeting Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, in his speeches, aligning his views more closely with the BJP’s national narrative.
This evolving situation raises questions for the Kapu community and Jana Sena supporters about Kalyan’s potential role in a Lokesh-led government. Would he accept a subordinate role such as Deputy Chief Minister, or would this push him to step away from state politics and pursue a more influential national role?
If a merger with the BJP materializes, it would echo the path taken by his brother, Chiranjeevi, who merged his Praja Rajyam Party with the Congress. As political dynamics shift, analysts are questioning whether this move would bolster Kalyan’s political ambitions or complicate matters for his supporters. The coming weeks will be crucial in shaping the future of the Jana Sena Party and its impact on Andhra Pradesh’s political landscape
