What will be the future of Jana Sena-BJP alliance in Andhra Pradesh? Insiders say a lot depends on the Tirupati bypoll outcome. They say that the BJP candidate's performance will decide the nature of the Jana Sena-BJP understanding.
If the BJP fares well and gets the second position in Tirupati, the alliance will stay, say sources. This only means that the Pawan Kalyan factor has its impact and that his campaign has influenced the Balija voters. In that case, the BJP will give importance to Pawan Kalyan and might even project him as the next CM candidate. But, if the BJP's position does not improve in the bypoll, then the relation would be off. There are indications that Pawan Kalyan might make statements criticizing both BjP and Narendra Modi. If that happens, the BjP is bound to react. Hence, the election result might actually decide the fate of the BJP-Jana Sena alliance.
As of now, the BjP and the Jana Sena have not conducted any serious review of the polling. Pawan Kalyan is now under quarantine after he tested positive. The BJP is said to be assessing the way the campaign went on and the possible vote percentage the party might get.
