The initial list of TDP-Jana Sena candidates for the upcoming elections has been disclosed, revealing details for 94 constituencies according to Chandrababu's plan. However, janasena leader Pawan has announced candidates for only five out of the 24 seats allocated to them, raising concerns and sparking discussions.
The candidates disclosed include Lokam madhavi for Nellimarla, Konatala ramakrishna for Anakapalli, Battula Balarama krishna for Rajanagaram, Pantam Nanaji for kakinada Rural, and nadendla manohar for Tenali. The remaining 19 constituencies are still shrouded in suspense, causing speculation and uncertainty.
Notably, rajolu constituency, which proved to be a janasena stronghold in the 2019 elections, did not see a candidate announcement, stirring new doubts. rajolu played a pivotal role in saving janasena from a complete defeat, and its omission from the candidate list has led to speculation. While many anticipated the candidacy of rapaka Varaprasad or Bontu Rajeshwar Rao, the constituency is vital as the tdp has a strong candidate in the form of ex-minister Gollapally surya Rao.
This has prompted debates about whether Pawan has been influenced by Chandrababu, sidelining key constituencies that played a crucial role in Janasena's past success. The omission of rajolu from the candidate list is emerging as a significant topic of discussion, raising questions about the decision-making process within the alliance.
