Reportedly political circles in andhra pradesh are abuzz with speculation as actor-politician and Jana Sena party (JSP) chief pawan kalyan met bharatiya janata party (BJP) Working President jp nadda in New delhi on Monday. Meanwhile apart from Nadda, bjp General Secretary (Organisation) B L Santosh and bjp mp tejasvi surya were also present at the meeting. pawan was accompanied by JSP leader and former assembly Speaker Nadendla Manohar.
Furthermore the two parties are understood to have agreed to work together in andhra pradesh, in view of the situation arising out of ysrcp government's proposal to decentralise the state's capital Amaravati. Apparently pawan kalyan had said "The bjp led Centre should conduct an all-party meeting on the proposal of three capitals and problems faced by amaravati farmers. bjp played a significant role in bifurcation of andhra pradesh and they were partners in the first government formed after the bifurcation. They should stand in support of amaravati farmers and help them in finding a solution".
Moreover sources say that while this may be the issue that brings both the parties together now, their association may continue even until the next elections in the state. Perhaps following a humiliating defeat in last year's elections, pawan kalyan has been dropping indications that he is willing to join hands with the BJP. So what can the Jana Sena offer to the bjp, and what can it gain from the latter? The bjp too, feels that there is a 'synergy' between the bjp and the JSP. bjp leaders like Lanka Dinakar say that they are interested in working with pawan kalyan in both the telugu states, but especially in Andhra Pradesh. Dinakar says, "Talks are still in a preliminary stage. But we are hopeful that a national outlook and regional aspirations can be worked out in tandem. We hope to emerge as a strong alternative and we are focusing on strengthening our cadre."
