There is an increasing realisation in Chandrababu Naidu that 2019 polls are not going to be favourable for him. He knows that even his 2014 victory was courtesy the support from the BJP and the Jana Sena. Now that he has completely alienated the BJP by his virulent tirade and vicious attack, his only hope to lift up the sagging fortunes of the TDP is to befriend Pawan Kalyan again. Successive surveys show that his graph is falling faster than a crashing aeroplane and that he needs some prop to tide over the crisis.
Chandrababu also knows that he has never won the election on his own. Every time, he needed some prop or the other. So, he badly wants Pawan Kalyan and trying every which way to bring him round. He had in the past asked senior Kapu ministers like Narayana and Ganta Srinivas to mediate and ensure that there is some understanding between the TDP and the Jana Sena. But, Pawan flatly refused to take the bait. Then he tried to woo Kapu leaders, but Pawan did not respond positively.
Now, Chandrababu realises that with leader after leader leaving for the YSRCP, the situation is grave and he has to take some corrective measure. So, he is now said to be trying to win back power by using a couple of media barons, who are close to Pawan. The media baron had also held discussions with Pawan. If the deal is through, then Chandrababu can heave a sigh of relief.
