Balineni Getting Downsized In Janasena?

Former Minister Balineni Srinivasa Reddy was in news last month for a controversial Pressmeet about the TDP MLA Damacharla Janardhan.

It was clear that Balineni is trying to settle his Personal Scores using Janasena. That Pressmeet also created rifts between TDP and Janasena.

It appears like Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan had realised that and started taking corrective measures.

Balineni was not given a space in Janasena Local Elections Committee. He did not attend the Janasena Aatmeeya Samavesam in Ongole last week. It is not clear if Balineni was not invited or he boycotted it as a protest against not getting a place in the election committee.

He is not a problem just for the TDP cadres. Janasena leaders and cadres in Ongole are also not happy with the Former Minister. They are of the feeling that Balineni and his group from YSR Congress are trying to dictate terms in Janasena and are keeping them aside.

Considering all these factors, Pawan Kalyan might have decided to reduce Balineni’s influence in the party, and it appears to be a good decision.
