Will Pawan Eat Into Chandrababus Votes?
X
Pawan Kalyan has become the biggest headache for the TDP in Andhra Pradesh. During the 2014 elections, he was the biggest support for the TDP. It was Pawan and the BJP that helped the TDP defeat the YSRCP. But, this time around, the BJP is already out of the alliance and Pawan Kalyan too is angry with the TDP.

Pawan's Jana Sena is targeting the TDP in a big way. The BJPis already launching a massive campaign against the TDP. BJP state chief Kanna Lakshminarayana and Rajya Sabha MP GVL Narasimha Rao are leaving no opportunity to attack Chandrababu and his party. With both the parties out of the alliance, can TDP take on a resurgent YSRCP alone?

Pawan Kalyan has a dedicated vote bank in twin Godavari districts and Krishna districts. He has considerable following in both Nellore and Prakasam districts, besides the North Andhra. The intel reports have confirmed that Pawan Kalyan fans may not vote for the TDP this time around. The Jana Sena workers are resolving not to work for or help the TDP. Also, a large number of voters are not happy with the TDP joining hands with the Congress in Telangana. The anger against the Congress has not subsided in Andhra Pradesh. The people are particularly angry over the way in which the Congress has divided the state. They believe that the Congress was responsible for the current state of affairs. So, Pawan's leaving is likely to affect the TDP badly. This may even cause a major upset in the elections this time around.
