Janasena leader Pawan Kalyan has caused a stir within the party by deciding to allocate the Vijayawada West Assembly seat to the BJP as part of a political alliance. This move has left party workers disheartened and upset. It was expected that the party in-charge, Pothina Mahesh, would be given the opportunity to contest from this constituency.

The decision has sparked outrage among Janasena ranks, with many feeling betrayed by Pawan's choice not to field Mahesh for the seat. This discontent has led to protests at the Janasena office in Vijayawada West, with demands for tickets to be given to Mahesh instead.

In response to the betrayal, Mahesh is contemplating to contest as an independent candidate in the upcoming election. He emphasizes his dedication and contributions to the party, expressing disappointment over not being chosen as the candidate for Vijayawada West.

The internal turmoil within the party is evident as supporters of Mahesh criticize Pawan's actions. They argue that allocating the ticket to Jana Sena is crucial for the party's presence and growth in Vijayawada. They criticize the alliance decisions that prioritize other parties over their own and question the loyalty of their party leadership.

Pawan Kalyan's decision to allocate the Vijayawada West seat to the BJP was driven by his strategic alliance with the BJP and TDP in Andhra Pradesh. This move was made in the interest of securing a strong alliance for the future and to enhance the electoral prospects in the upcoming elections.
