JanaSena to expand to national politics?

It is already on that Janasena president, Pawan Kalyan had a remarkable campaign in the recent election where his party 100% of the MLA and MP seats that he had contested. It appears that this has ignited a new fire in Kalyan, as he has set his focus on national politics.

The same is to be understood from the latest speech from Pawan Kalyan as he revealed about his national politics plans. The speech reflects Pawan Kalyan, deputy chief minister of Andhra Pradesh and Janasena Party leader, encouraging supporters in Telangana, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Odisha to fight for the party’s expansion.

This call aligns with Janasena’s centrist ideology and its history of strategic alliances, such as supporting the TDP-BJP victory in 2014, suggesting a calculated push to transition from a regional to a national party.

The ‘Senatho Senani’ event in Visakhapatnam, starting August 28, 2025, underscores this ambition, drawing on Kalyan’s personal influence as a popular actor and philanthropist.

But at the end of the day, having a strong result in other Indian states, including Maharashtra and Karnataka, apart from Andhra Pradesh is going to be a very tough ask. It has to be seen if Pawan Kalyan really make it happen on this front.
