VIJAYAWADA: Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan on Tuesday made it clear that his party has no plans to go for an alliance with the TDP as of now.
The actor-politician, responding to TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu’s recent comments that he was open to a tie-up with any party including the Jana Sena to defeat the YSRC in the 2024 elections, asked his party men not to fall into the trap of other parties who are playing mind games.
During a teleconference with his party’s executive committee members, Pawan said his main focus now is to strengthen the party at the grass roots level. “We should focus on forming committees and taking the party’s ideology to the public. We are in alliance with the BJP and everyone should work with them. Though many political parties are trying for an alliance with us, this is not the time to think of alliance. I appeal to party workers not to become pawns in the political mind game being played by other parties,” he said.
He added that he will not take any alliance-related decision without consulting his party’s senior leaders, district presidents, and political affairs committee. Naidu, during his road show in Kuppam last week, hinted at an alliance with Jana Sena. “When you love a girl, it is not correct to insist her for marriage. Love should be from both sides, one-sided love never works. Similarly, the alliance with Jana Sena is possible only if Pawan Kalyan thinks and accepts,” he had said. Meanwhile, BJP state president Somu Verraju said Naidu is capable of building alliances with anyone for his benefit. “He was in alliance with the Congress, BJP, and Left parties but betrayed all of them after coming to power ,” Verraju said.
