Pawan Knows Politics Better Than Balineni!

Former Minister Balineni Srinivasa Reddy is feeling suffocated in Janasena Party and Ongole Politics. Immediately after losing Power in 2024, Balineni joined Janasena Party and was trying to get hold of the District Politics by overriding TDP Senior Leader and Ongole MLA Damacharla Janardhan.

Damacharla and Balineni were rivals for so long. Balineni hoped he would gain command on the district by using Pawan Kalyan’s stature in the Alliance Government. He thought Pawan Kalyan would give him a freehand hoping Janasena would rise in Prakasam district where it is very weak.

Back then, many even thought Balineni would destroy both the parties in the district and then, go back to YSR Congress just before the 2029 elections.

Balineni even expected to become an MLC and thereby a cabinet berth. Even though Pawan Kalyan admitted him into the party, it appears like he realized what Balineni is capable of.

He cut the size of the Former Minister and did not allow him to gain control over the party. Obviously, Balineni is feeling suffocated.

The other day, Speaking to the media, Balineni said, “I may not have the support of the party. But I have the people on my side”. Balineni warned Damacharla that from now on he will stay in Ongole for two or three days a week and will see his story.

With his intentions now totally clear, Pawan Kalyan will be even more careful from now on. However, Balineni may remain cautious only until the elections to ensure that the government does not target him. He may shift to YSR Congress just before the elections, as expected, a senior political observer remarked.

In the entire episode, Pawan Kalyan should be appreciated for playing the game well even though Balineni is a Senior Politician. That is how one should lead a party in Politics riddled by Conspiracies and machinations.
