Andhra Pradesh, deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan had been in alliance with the BJP for many years now, and this proved to be extremely beneficial for him as well. The historic outcome in the 2024 election was possible due to the alliance that was orchestrated by Pawan Kalyan by bringing together TDP and BJP.
And now we have arrived at a point where Pawan Kalyan has become a crucial force for the BJP and perhaps to be categorised as the carrier of the BJP agenda as well to a degree.
While speaking at the JSP instrumental meeting in Delhi yesterday, Pawan Kalyan tried really hard to emphasise the need to erase the barrier between North India and South India for the collective good of the country.
Kalyan gave the indication that the BJP-led NDA government at the centre is delivering effective governance and this needs to be consolidated by adequate support from South states too. This was a clear indication to the South Indian population to start siding with the Union Goverment.
Crucial point is that BJP has been steady losing its support in South India, and this was evident during the recent delimitation bill as well. Along with that, the electoral results have also been against the BJP as Telangana, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu(TVK alliance) are bearing Congress flag.
So the BJP perhaps be trying to have a strong footprint down South by projecting Pawan Kalyan. It appears that the departure of Annamalai in Tamil Nadu has created vacuum for the BJP to have a strong face in South and they are doing indirectly through Pawan Kalyan now.
This is consolidated progress for the JSP at the central level for Pawan Kalyan to hold such meetings in Delhi. There is also a comment that Kalyan must look to develop his own political ideology apart from the BJP side of things and it has to be seen if Kalyan would actively emphasise on the same in the days to follow.
